Problems since my battery relocation
Well about 4 or 5 months ago I relocated my battery to the back and put a switch in my light on my car. Well the first time my battery went dead and caused my alternator to go out. The second time happened today, I was in a restraunt eating while we were having a club meeting and some dumb@ss came out and shut my battery off while we were inside and when I got out and put my switch handle back on and turned the battery on and started the car my alternator wouldn't charge. So i checked the voltage it was putting out and it was only putting out 3 volt and the check gauge light was on. I went to autozone bought a 1000 cranking amp battery and put on my car and still no charge on the battery from the alt except 3 volts. So at this time I was pissed heading back to my house so I hammered down on my car and the check gauge light went out but when i would go back to idle for a few mins it would come back on and only show the battery was charging 9 volts on my volt gauge. Well I am wondering if anybody has had any trouble since they have relocated there battery?

Re: Problems since my battery relocation
It would be helpful if you'd describe just how you wired it up. The impression you give is that everything was okay until someone turned the switch off. During the five months when everything was okay, was the switch ever turned off? I relocated mine with a switch in the console and haven't had a problem.
