o0o yeah its a 00 civic ex i cant find a pic of that fuse box anywhere if anyone has one pls post

 

Just replace the fuse, and clamp everything down tight. Get rid of your leaks as well.

OR maybe you didn't catch the alternator soon enough, and it fried your battery as well. If so test it out to make sure.

 

i changed the altenator and the car was running pretty good for about a week or so than tonight on my way home my car started craping out on me almost the same way. when ever i came to a stop the car would jus give out on me completely... a friend of mine gave me a jump and then right after i turn the corner the car starts dieing while im riding down my road i pull in my driveway and press the lock button on my keys cause it didnt work last time my alt went..but it worked this time? lights work but it all dies out after a short amount of time anyone have any idea PLEASE HELP IF YOU READ AND HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MOTORS
