Hello. Once again I'm asking for help from this great community. I think I'm having electronic issues, any advise would be greatly appreciated . recently my 07 Daytona has been freaking out randomly , symptoms are as follows: she usually starts up fine, then after a bit every light on dash starts flashing, beeping, won't shift out of first, getting " unknown" codes on predator, and just dying like I turned key off....often if I let it sit for a bit she drives ok for a few then back to freaking out....
Little back story that might be pertainate, about year ago I was having charging issues, found out the wire running from alternator to battery had melted next to headers, took it do dealer to swap wire but all they did was re insulate it. Couple months back it melted thru again, this time I noticed alternator was super hot and putting out 16+ volts and obviously fried. Put new alt in and fixed wire by soddering new one to good part of old wire, running it up and over headers to alt. New part of wire might be slightly larger than original. I've heard this wire referee to as the likeable fuse for our cars .
So perhaps I fryed the computer when the alt was running so hot, or maybe that wire can't be altered like I did....? Really don't know where to start on this one, any thoughts?
