Could blown fuses cause a battery or alternator to go bad???? My car just died on me coming to work. About a week ago i blew out a fuse for the gauge cluster while trying to install a GSR cluster. The car today just started hesitating while anything electrical was running ( ie lights, radio, windsheild wipers, brakes, a/c.) After I turned my car off at work... I tried to restart it. When I turn the key all you hear is......... tick tick tick tick tick. The ticking repitition is quite fast. Does anyone know what the problem is here?
