Not sure what to do next.
Dealer says he needs $227.00 dollars just to look for the problem (said something about disassembling the fuse block). Anyone had this happen or know the signal path of a misjump? Is there a main inline fuse somewhere I am missing?

Thanks a ton!

Hi Freman,

Did you check the alternator?
I think today's alternators have an internal regulator inside.

That might have blown in the process of the bad jump attempt.

Hope this helps....
