    Dashboard kept lighting up

    Swapped alternator 1st then battery then cable from battery to starter

    Swapped battery and alternator at the same time as the cable

    Ran like a champ for a week now it's draining battery and dying one also sparks coming off the alternator bolt

    Anyone know what I can do

    Sounds like a poor connection or the nut is loose.
