Like the topic says. I am located in Kirkland Washington. I have spent about 14 houns trying to diagnose the problem. If anyone if the area is really good at diagnosing electrical problems, please, please, email, call, or IM me ASAP. I have cash, beer, food, in hand. I will explain the problem further if someone out there can help me. I have exhausted all other resources, 3 hours dianostic time at the dealer ($85/hr), 1 hour at the local racing shop ($), 14 hours of my ouwn time (and I am a decent mechanic), a few friends, etc. I am at my wits end with this. Please feel my pain and contact me if you think you can help.

Thanks very much!

hit me up with a pm, im not in the area, but im an auto electrical specialist.

 

Imd u...hopefully I can help....

 

Ok I installed a new alternator, new main relay, pulled my engine harness out and checked every wire in it. I also refurbished the harness while it was out. STILL have the same problem. My engine has about 4.6 volts going to it, I mean everywhere! This is super, mega frustrating! I don't know what to do now. I have tried everything I know of.

Can anyone suggest a automotive electrical expert in the Seattle area? One that will work on a hybrid.

Thanks!

here what i would do, start at the beginning.

first check the voltage coming out of the alternator, post up what the voltage is
then check the voltage out of the battery, make sure hte battery is still good, post up what the voltage is.

u see what im saying, start at the beginngin and work your way back, next follow the positive back every time it its a connection, check the voltage, sooner or later your gonna come across where it drops.
