Ok, had the alternator changed out Tuesday (used), Wed car died (battery dead, alt. bad), another used alt. put in on Wed, and car died Thursday morning (battery dead, alt. bad), yet a third alt. was put in and the car did the same thing. We put a new alt. in on Friday, car did same thing. Took the car into an electronics shop to have the elec. checked out, and they state that nothing is wrong. I have a friend whose Protege has the same problems. All wires have ben checked and some have been replaced, but we can not seem to find out what is causing the alt. a) not to work and b) to go bad within an hour of driving. Someone had mentioned that it may be the starter, but the starter was checked and there is nothing wrong with it. Any suggestions could help. Thanks!
