someone help me please!
I have a 98 disco and i'm afraid there may be some type of short a few months ago i was towing a small trailer and my alternator went out thinking back it may have been going for awhile and just finally died (my lights would dim and my tachometer would jump up and down) i figured the trailer shorted me and just had the alternator rebuilt
today while on the freeway my battery light went on and my tach stopped working i assumed the alt. went out and had the truck towed home... now i know that the alternator is dead i am curious to find out if anyone has any ideas on what might be causing it... now i've read some info that a bad "abs relay" may be shorting out the truck but i'm not sure i have had brake trouble in the past but i could never figure out what it was... if someone can point me in the right direction (or any direction) i'd really appreciate it.
If it makes a difference i do have an aftermarket radio installed and an amp with a subwoofer... but all of that wiring is fine. also in the past i have gone through lots of tail light bulbs but all of my fuses are fine.
Thank you
