I really really need someone's help... :(

i have a 1992 plymouth laser (1.8 non turbo) and recently i've been having problems with it dying on me... i bought a new alternator and had it tested at autozone and they said it worked and i even bought a new battery and put all that in today... it was running fine then at the end of the day the lights on the dashboard started dimming and it died again... :-/ i dont know what it could be... my best guess is that the alternator fucked up (which would really piss me off) but i dont think that's it... i think there may be falty wires from the car to the alternator or a short in the radio's wiring (because when you turn on the turn signal the radio dies)... if you have this problem too or know what's wrong or have an idea could you PLEASE help me out a bit...

thanks

Pearl....I would hate to say this, but if you bought a new alternator from autozone, it might be a bad one, they have had problems with them. I did. Also, when you buy patrs from them, pay the lil extra money and get the lifetiem warrentied parts, better deal for you in the long run.......
You might want to check your wiring harness for chaffing. If it is worn threw you might be grounding out somewhere. Also check the regulator for the alternator, I am sure that it is in the alternator itself, but on mine it isn't. The only other option is to have Plymouth run a diagnostic on the eletrical system.....good luck
