hey guys need a bit of help
was tightening up my belts and i didnt disconnect my battery and accidentally touched the alternator to the sub frame of the car and it gave off a spark and smoke white smoke. i pulled the alternator out and got it tested a few times at a few places its fine i checked out the battery its fine i changed the relays under the hood and checked out all the fuses they all look fine. but the problem is the car is killing the battery when i drive it the alternator isnt charging the battery up. and when i turn the car on none of the lights come on inside the car or outside the car until i get it over 3k rpms then everything comes to life until the batter dies and kills the engine. so does anyone have any idea cause im stumped :wtf2:
