$90 battery--ripped off? 200 1989

Shoulda gone to walley world... I think you have a over charging condtion which should be looked into... probably the regulator in the ALT went south!

And yes it appears you over filled the battery, but that should have only made a mess, which you still may have, but can't see..... With baking soda in hand and a parts cleaning brush and water go get to it... DO NOT get baking soda inside the new battery!!!!!!

When you begin to clean up the mess in and around the battery tray, and the sides of the battery you will see the baking soda make yellow foam. Expect it.

Wear cloths you planned to toss out as these clothes will probably be runined by the time you are done...

I am not clear on just what is wrong with the washers... Mac

if you like you could e-mail me. mac_muz15@hotmail.com
