    so tonight i was driving and everything basically powered down, lost lights (at night), stereo, then speedometer, then eventually i think even the transmission because it wouldnt shift gears porperly and jerked while i was trying to get off the road
    cause: when i was doing the fog light mod and replacing the circut box i crushed a thick medium blue wire anyone know what this is? i know my battery was run down to 11w so that was too low to crank it back up after i got it off the road then had to get jumped off by a buddy

    Since you know what the problem is have you been able to repair it? I'm trying to visualize which wire you interrupted.

    Dude, you're looking at it the wrong way... If you're going to be stuck somewhere, you might as well have a nice view.

    Did you not get a battery/charging system warning light on the dashboard?
