Probably a shot in the dark but is this still available?

I forgot to add the biggest problem! The way the previous owner set up this head unit was causing it to draw power even with the car completely off! Back in 2019-2020 I went through two batteries and an alternator because of this drain. Back then I didn’t understand electrical systems to the level I...

I bought this car back in August of 2019. The previous owner installed an aftermarket head unit. It sounded great, but I’ve always hated how they look, especially this particular Sony one contrasted with an 850 interior. When I first got the car, the sunroof didn’t work and after a while of trying t...

I’m going to apologize in advance in case I leave out any important information please ask questions if necessary. Last winter, I slid my wagon into a guard rail.

Without it or if it's shorted somewhere...alt will not have an output.

is there a way I can test the thin wire to see if it’s shorted? I know that the alternator does not have any output.

You can try just replacing the voltage regulator but I would take the whole thing to an auto electric shop and have it evaluated and rebuilt I was under the assumption that rebuilding these guys is a no go?? Is my assumption incorrect?? Also, I’ve been doing a lot of reading, and is the b+ cable th...

How am I supposed to know which one is bad?
