Last week I had a haircut appt. but when I went to start my car, the battery was dead.
I got a ride from someone who warned me that the Alternator may have gone bad.
Later I checked around and found the following simple explanation:
It was the red wire which was connected to the Alternator and came loose.
All I had to do was tighten the connector and re-attach to the Alternator.
So, the original warning was actually pretty close, but sometimes the KISS principle really works. I have not had any more problems since then.

Hi,

If there had been a third wire to make the circuit have two “Y’s” as connection points, the outcomes would be the same. You would not been going anywhere!
Guess it’s something to be worth getting up tight about!

At least you found the problem yourself and got your best haircut in your favorite place!
I say this as, It must be a favorite place to have to make an appointment! Jeez, I have never done that in my best dating days!
I do a walk-in and if it’s too busy, like the DMV is in California, I turn around and walk out!

Since I don’t have a whole of lot hair or good looks in the face anymore ... My hair is definitely not about a dew, but how much is due! (:)
My body is like an old jalopy, that’s not worth big bucks and if I passed a plate around for myself, I would get IOU’s!.
Maybe I should have wrote for Rodney Dangerfield?
(:) But I didn’t, because I get some respect every now and then! But the word AND is longer than it use to be! (:)
Heck, he might have already used it!
