Sounds like the alternator went bad, and now the battery is completely dead.

Do you have power anything? dome lights? Dash lights?

 

[stkjock]

when you say no power... lights, radio, accessories all dead? will the car crank?

 

[wdkingery]

um alot

died like your battery went bad and you have no power?

died like it sits at idle fine but you hit the gas and not much happens and the wrench light is on??

My guess is the ALT went bad. If you noticed electronic things slowly shutting down before the car died, then that's what it is. My buddy has an 07 that had these symptoms before it left him on the side of the road.

+1 on electrical problems, my car has been a PITA with the alternator/batteries.

 

[Bullett]

Nope I was driving and it completely shut off.... Nothing works at all and car does not crank.... As I removed my oddysey battery it wad inflated on both sides. Then I tried a different battery and both negative and positive cables sparked.

[Bullett]

Guys this really sucks.... The car looks great and I can't even enjoy it.

u never know with some ppl

seroiusly, sounds to me like your voltage regulator is bad...the bulging battery sides suggest that you "overcooked" everything. If this it true, could be you'll be replacing some expen$ive electronic goodies.

Tow it back to who ever fixed it. If you fixed it, retrace all your wiring.

 

[Bullett]

Lmao! I feel ya.

 

[Bullett]

: 0..... Where is the voltage regulater n how do I check if it's fine?? What could have failed because of this?

 

[MexGT]

the regulator is INSIDE the alternator, you need to unscrew the alternator cap and you will see it, its white with a socket type thing.

That could be one of the solutions IF the problem is really the alternator, but if the alternator got cooked, nothing works there anymore haha been there done that.

When you put the new batt on there was still no power anywhere? Also ck the connection at the PCM , maybe one was left loose from the repairs. Was you car hit in the front ?

 

[Bullett]

car took very minor damage in the front..... when i connected the other battery nothing powered on... just sparked and melted a chunk off the terminal.

 

[MexGT]

and the red wire got hot?
