    Yay!!! Happy ending!!! (not that kind, pervs!)

    Sometimes it's the little things. When I bought my 928 I had all sorts of never-ending battery/charge problems, leaving it D-E-D dead over and over again. :-( My (awesome) mechanic traced the problem to one of those battery-disconnect thumb-screw jobs that wasn't screwed on tight, corroding the contacts and keeping the battery from getting charged.

    Nice pic, Eric! Glad it worked out for you...

    I scared the husband, the cat and probably most the neighbors around me when I saw the pic of you hugging your VX!!!! I almost lost a lung laughing.

    I would give good money to have a calendar of VX owners hugging their VX's.

    Eric,now it's good time to rechecked all aftermarket wiring since you'll be putting every thing back again.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Glad to hear you are up and running again. Amazing how such a small part can cause such huge headaches. Thanks for sharing your story. If this ever happens to any of the rest of us, we will have a possible answer to the problem.

    so far the casualties of this incident are

    high output alternator (fubar)
    both headlight bulbs (low beams burnt out)
    rear view camera (turns on, no picture)
    a 14mm socket (missing in action)
    my spare VX battery (due to a shop messing up the terminal)

    but on the plus side, my A/C has started working properly again with the oem alternator, so apparently the high output alternator was the issue there too

    im guessing that piece cracked long ago, ie when the a/c started acting up, because that happened months after the high output alternator install, and got progressively worse over a span of 4-6 months, then stopped working completely for the last 2-3 months

    total repair costs
    tow to local shop - free from AAA
    tow from local shop to my work - $80
    electrical diagnosis from my shop - $12
    rubber sleeve to cover cracked piece - $2
    new headlight bulbs - $40
    new rear view camera - $1.50
    new high output alternator - $279 (eventually)
