Thank you God for all this info, and yes, its in churchland at an undisclosed location. Well, I live like 3/4 of a mile from where it is, because thats pretty much where it ended up. Mother fuck, I hate these cars. hahaha.

The car just shut off like what happened with the negative.

Ok, that definitely sounds like a problem with the alternator or the alternator wiring. The electrical system isn't getting power except from the battery. I'm assuming the battery isn't getting charged then?

I had a similar problem, when my rear defrost wire was pinched it was grounding out against the body, causing some very odd stuff to happen.

Like when I had any kind of load on the alternator the tester said "replace alterantor, no voltage" replaced it...still sucked. It was also draining my battery within a hour of it sitting and it was wanting to cut off at stop lights. You could have a pinched wire somewhere as well? Get a multimeter and see if it has any current draw that it isn't suppose to have.

It could be the stupidest, smallest problem causing such a big one. Good luck.
