Looking for some help here. I installed the doghead starter relay mod, replaced my GP controller card and installed a Napa ST65 GP relay.
Somewhere along the line I got some smoke coming from somewhere in the cab. I've looked and looked and can't find any burned spots or burned wires.
Since that time, the alternators don't seem to output properly, the volt meter only shows in the yellow when the truck is running and finally the batteries died.
I charged the batteries but now when I hook them up, I get major arcing when I try to connect the ground cable and my driver side alternator got very warm to the touch when I was trying to connect the batteries. I figured it was a screwed alt, so I switched it out with the passenger alt, but still get the same result.
I've go into the cab and unhooked every bit of electrical stuff I've installed (gauges, a/c system) but still the same problem.
Any ideas...like I said this all started after I installed the GP card, GP relay and starter relay all in the same afternoon.
Thanks for your help
