Electrical problem
1993 Buick Lesabre 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

batter light on. had battery charged. battery did not hold charge. bought a diehard, battery light still on. put in alternator. battery light still on. car can drive for a few miles and then die, battery not holding a charge. My mechanic found a wire that was causing the problem. fixed it. still having same problem. mechanic worked on trying to find electrical problem and cannot.

this is my sons car, he had a stereo system put in with a amp, thats when problems began. was told by a friend that it could be one of the wires running under the seat some where causing the problem.

do you have any suggestions on what i should be looking for or having done?

thank you very much

Sandy,

This is a tough one because I have no idea what they did when they installed the amps. There is a fuseable link between the alt and the battery that may have gone bad as a result of too much power being demanded from the alt, but I would think that is the one your mechanic checked. As him if that was it, and let me know what you find.
