Re: sable wagon transmission repaired now electrical problem?

Carefully inspect the wires near the alternator and where the transmission mates to the engine. Make sure all the wires are properly attached to the alternator and are secure. Also, check for evidence that any of the wires near the transmission may have been pinched between the transmission and engine block. If any of the wires or wiring harnesses appear to have been pinched, then there is a good chance those are causing your electrical issue.

If you are not comfortable checking these yourself, or don't trust the shop that did the transmission work, take it to another shop and have then check for the cause of the electrical problem.

If they find something that is unquestionably related to the alternator replacement or transmission repair, then take the bill to the shop that did the suspect work and ask them to reimburse you. If they refuse to, then you may wish to send the same reasonable request to the shop through a lawyer.
