Hello all, I have an 01 Z06 with 50K miles, every since I've had it which has been about 2 months it has sounded sluggish when starting. Well sat. I seen the ac belt wasn't on so took it to my buddies shop and had one put on. Well after putting it on voltage went way down and so tested alternator and it was bad. Put new alt on and started up and turned air on and it started smoking under hood near compressor like the compressor had a short in it. So took ac belt back off and put another new alternator on bc we thought maybe it fried the other one and its still not getting the correct charge and giving a charge system fault. What else can I check to see whats wrong with this? Oh and we checked and replaced all fuses.

 

done some research on corvetteforum and got it figured it out, it was a burnt up and coroded starter cable that caused my car not to charge.
