I am just going to have it towed to a shop or something because this is really rediculous. I have been ******* with this car for way to long now

yup, like right after I hooked them both up.
could the ground do that? where is it supposed to be grounded at? that was really the only place I could think of at the time. Or saw.

I had the same problem. Mine was that there is a ground strap that goes from the block (drivers side) to the fender. The strap cannot touch the alternator wire at any part. None of the strap can touch a hot contact and it hangs very close to the alternator. I would be surprised if you didn't melt the threads on the battery. I had to go buy a new battery when I did it.

But that definitely sounds like my problem. Thanks.

I am getting so frustrated living vicariously through you and your troubles.I would send you a Staples Easy button but a bug would probably fly into it and burn the wiring out so it wouldn't work.

So I think we should all start a pot and try to guess and beton what day you think this car will be back on the road. Winner takes the money. I am beginning to wonder if it will ever run again. Sorry for the doubt bro.
