Electrical issues after alternator swap

Recommended Posts

I've recently had issues with my 77' 280z not charging and stalling and dying while I drove it.

I just got a new battery from oreilly so I figured it was the alternator and I also figured this would be a good opportunity to do the ZX alternator upgrade.

Bought a refurbished ZX alternator and followed the write up to the letter. But when I tried to connect the negative cable back to the battery one of the fusible links fried.

After the fusible link finally stopped I decided to try and start the car anyways. It started up and ran kinda rough, but it ran. Downside is the turn signals, parking lights an hazards don't work. The headlights do work and now when I drive it the "brake" light stays on in my speedo cluster.

Anyone have any ideas on where to start with this? My Z is my daily driver so I need help pretty quick if possible
