[RESOLVED] Help - Electrical Problem Has Me Stumped

[upnorth84]

Well my car broke down once again last night but this time I have no idea what to do. I was driving back to college and my voltage on the two hour drive dropped from 13 to 11 and then after I got it parked and tried to start it again I read 9 volts. Now there's barely enough juice to turn on the dash lights. I have a brand new 150 amp alternator, brand new battery, and i recently ground off all the connections so I don't think corrosion is the issue. But here's the kicker that really got me lost, I tried to jump it and I read no change in voltage while the cables were connected. Everything appears to be connected properly and all the fuses look good. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. And as always if this has been covered already I apologize, I tried to search and didn't find anything useful.

I'm an idiot! The one wire I neglected to take a look at (more like feel) was the ground for the starter and it turned out to be loose. I had no idea that's where it was grounded to, I just figured it would have been one of the wires I took off the starter. Now she works just fine. My ignorance got the best of me on this one. Thanks for the help though guys.
