Car Part II

So...back to the tale of my cute little Neon... Where did I leave off on the previous story?? That they tested it and it was the alternator and Kamron changed it out and it worked?? Wrong-o. It did work - he drove it to work the next morning. Got there just fine. Home was a different story. The car suddenly blew a fuse again on the freeway and therefore up and died. He pulled to the side replaced the fuse and was then able to drive about 5 more minutes (Keep in mind he woks in Sandy and lives in Spanish FOrk...Long drive). The car continued blowing fuses and he continued changing them every 5 miles or so. It took him roughly 2 hours to get home (generally a 50 minute drive) Once home the car died its final death of the day - it would no longer start no matter what he did. He changed fuses and tried to start it but the fuse would blow as soon as the key was turned. Oh Heavens. He worked on it all weekend to no avail. Back to the mechanic we tow... The mechanic replaced the fuse and it started right up. They tried everything to get it to blow so they could find the problem but no such luck. The fuse refused to blow. What on earth? kamron changed the fuse a million times and it blew every time and now they do the same thing and it starts right up and runs perfectly?? Blah. What a waste of a weekend for Kamron - again, poor guy.

Onto Part III
He drove it to work yesterday without a problem - headed home - he again blew a fuse. This time however he was able to replace the fuse and get all the way home without incident. He got back to work this morning without incident as well... Crossing my fingers for his trip home... How annoying, seriously.
