WHAT WOULD MAKE MY CAR DO THIS IS THERE ANY CERTAIN FUSE I MIGHT OF MISSED VOLTAGE REGULATOR ETC......

 

damn i hope i didnt really damage somethin this time my volts where just dropping and dropping my car is now like at 9 volts

 

I would take my battery and alternator in for testing. Not sure what the batteries touching could do. Advance auto will test both for free. Actually you could just drive the car there I believe they have a test cart they can roll out to your car, i would call in advance though (don't mind the pun)

 

Sound like the alt is shot. I would test both like mentioned.

 

definately test both, and if they test fine start chasing wires for shorts, you maybe arching something out that you probably shouldnt be.... : (

 

thanks guys the altenator was shot problem solved
