The Alternator Saga continues... 1800

...when we last left our story our young, and rather hansome hero had just replaced the faulty replacement alternator in his beloved car with a new unit. The battery drain problem was no more, or so he thought...

...now we find our hero on his morning drive to school. On the way he noticed a small amount of smoke coming from under the hood. He pulled the car off the road and upon his investagation our hero forud the the new, replacement alternator was smoking. The sound of electrial sparks could be herd from the unit. once the battery was disconected, the sparking and smoking stopped.

Could this be a second faulty replacement alternator, or is this perhaps more of an indacator of a short somewere? What should our hero do? Only you can save him now!
