its 97gst the car starts up fine but the problem is, the radio stop working on, windows stop working, sometimes when I turn my car off the headlights will stay on when the switch is off, then sometimes my horn will go off for about 2mins straight non stop.... so some input we will be appreciated here.. thanks
 
alternator how will a bad alternator do that? Was there an after market alarm installed on it? Check the wiring under your steering wheel. The ignition gives power to many things in the car. Ignition will power your radio and windows. Also you have 2 other problems within the steering wheel area, light/turn signal switch and horn. I would take a look at the wires under your steering wheel for sure.
 
yea I think your right I think it is my aftermarket alarm because its all F up too, I will disconnect it today. Ill let you guys know what happen
 
those were the exact same things that happen to me when the alternator FUSE would pop.
windows not rolling, radio not working. and headlights would stay ok.
yep. and it was due to my cheap alternators along with the FUSE.
and i do have an alarm also, but didn't have to do anything with it.



hahahahahaha, the good old horn staying on too!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL. i was racing one time, and i poped the alternator fuse, and that fkin horn stayed on.
had to pull over and change the fuse, Good thing i always carry one in the glovebox.
