Unfortunately The link only protects the battery, the rest of the electrical system is still connected. The alt keeps charging the rest of the electrical system to cause damage.
Depending on what was working at the time, and how high the voltage was, as to how much damage was done to the units, like ABS, ECU, TCU and all the relays that were on at the time.

Sadly, these seem to be popping up a bit more often the couple years. Harvey, is it just a matter of the alternators and regulators nearing 20 years old or is there something more than that?
