Could be possible, after the wreck the wiring harness was fried in my car. I'm thinking that impact grounded a power somewhere, possibly the alternator.

Bad ground, somewhere or something drawing power, electrial problems suck. Im also on my 3rd alternator in a year.

Well oddly enough the car ran today. I went back where i abandoned it and took the alternator off. Then I noticed on the wire that goes to the battery, there were a few cuts and nics open and exposed and had grease on it, so i cleaned it and taped it up. Then I went to AAP and tested it and they said it was fine. So i bought a new belt cause mine was scorn all around and new terminals and a new smaller battery cause my old one was too big. I thought maybe the alternator was having difficulties charging such a large battery so i got a smaller one. Then i put a new positive terminal thinking i had a bad connection. I put it all together and drove home just fine. Lets see how long this lasts. Thanks for the help fellas

you have no idea how to work on a car have you ever thought to listen to what people tell you... steven buy new battery terminals you need to ground those wires.. your wires are loose. steven you need more than just one bolt to hold your transmission to your motor.. steven something seems loose why dont you check your suspension.... steven this car is really a hack job why dont you fix it properly..... LOL......
