So last night, my car wasnt starting so i got under the hood and reattached my alternator ground and because it should have been simple i didnt disconnect the battery and i i was putting the groung back it hit the hot wire going to the alternator. needless to say there were sparks and my engine started but all i had was headlights left. this mourning i checked over the fuses and discovered my battery fusible (FL75A) was blown. i started looking on the internet for it and could locate it at any after market site so i called a couple auto parts stores and as i suspected, "dealer part only". i tried all of the salvage yards but these KA's are so awesome noone had an altima or a 240. so here i am ordering it from the dealer for $16 and wont get it till early next week.

well thanks for letting me blow off a little steam.
