Electrical Woes
Ok so i posted acouple weeks ago about my flashing idiot lights (power steering, ABS, stoplamp, e. brake, and the alternator lights) and the car stalling while i was moving. I've narrowed this problem down to either the MAF sensor or the alternator. I also know my car has quite a bit of electrical problems (but that doesnt stop me from loving her). Pretty soon im gonna try to overhaul the car and I would like to know what are some common places for electrical shorts and other places where i should look. I also need to replace a power steering line that leaks onto the exhaust (i was also under the car today and got to see how messy the leak is), its all over the steering unit and even on the front axle (i dont think that can be good for the CV boot). The line is on the passenger side almost directly above the o2 sensor (with acouple things inbetween them of course) it leaks from a crimp on the line. If i didnt explain the position of the leak well enough ill try and get pictures of it. Any suggestions/advice on the electrical and any info on the leak is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

I would think with flashing dummy lights that it would be the alternator.

Go to a local battery store and have them check your alternator. I am going to put 10 bucks on it that it's the alternator.
