Short problem for electrical gurus
hopefully someone can help me diagnose where this short is occurring. This short will kill my battery in short time and seems to have a few unique characteristics.
The alternator is charging fine and the battery is good When i step on the brake i get a brake light on the dash intermittently. The power to the ignition switch will short out and my car will essentially act like i have turned the ignition into the off position while the motor is running (turning my headlights/radio off etc) Somehow this is not allowing the alternator current to reach my battery. any clues are greatly appreciated |

correction advanced auto parts said my alternator was charging fine but on the vehicle it only seems to maintain 11v and it will steadily drop from 9.4v slowly with accessories on.....

Did you have them check your battery if it holds a charge?
Did you check your cables between the alternator and battery? Did you check your brake fluid? |
