Weird electrical problem
Well I was driving the car the other night and the battery gauge just kept going down. So when I got home the lights were dimming. I went out today to start it and it started fine and the volts were reading normal. I have a slight power steering leak and I was thinking it might have caused a short in the alternator. Does that make sense or is it something else?

Make sure all of your connections are good and tight and clean, at the battery. Also may want to have a charging system check done on it, could be the alt fixing to take a poo on ya...

Not sure but the power steering pump could be leaking onto the belt, causing it to slip.

well I took the alternator out today and noticed someone who owned the car before me cut 3 of the 4 wires coming out of the alternator plug and spliced the other one onto something else. Does anyone have a wire diagrahm to see where those three are supposed to go?
Sinced it worked fine before the pump started leaking everywhere should I even bother hooking them back up?
On a side note whats a great degreaser since the pump fluid made a mess.
