Well, drove a rental car (ford focus...
) to ga, and had 12 hours to think about it...
Turns out the cig lighter still worked, the fuse was blown in the phone charger. Fixed that and now the phone won't charge. Got a new battery and it charges fine.
I am wondering if it is possible that the alternator was over charging (bad regulator) and cooked the ecu and my cell phone battery.
Any thoughts on this... Plausable?
