electrical problem

[sphinx0nine]

yesterday before goin to the track.. i re threaded a bolt on the left side of the exhaust manifod.
I shorted the alternator, but i didnt think it was gonna die.
So the car worked fine.. but there was something kinda strage, the deck will go off when i pushed the break..
none of the fuses are bad..
but the battery is staying at 11.59 v.

any ideas..

i had the same problem when i installed my new o2 housing. i checked all my fuses and noticed my alt fuse was busted. got a new one and everything worked like a charm.

Take a peak under the car at the control arm. It has some rubber bushings on it. See if their dry rotted and all cracked up, for that matter, if they're even there. Another alternative, if you have a Pep Boys or whatever around, take it to them and have them check it out, most shops don't charge you for something like that, at least I know Pep Boys doesn't.
