He's saying you need stable voltages.

well, it is pretty stable in that range..jsut higher then before..and my AF's before cruising, where like 16-17 and as soon as you punch it it goes back down towards 12's..now, I dunno..I haven't tested it yet.

Also, the crank pulley was rotating on it'self, so chad was nice enough to loan me his fluidampr. I am guessing that whatever the timing WAS set at, could perhaps be off when it was tuned? Who knows.

Yes your dam right Im nice enough!

YEah your base timing could be off. I had it happen to me once with my eclipse because of the dampner.

Well, I wonder if NOW if I went to tune, i'd make up some hp?

Battery voltage changes your fueling too....

And ignition power!

So, now windows don't work, and the power locks dont. I checked the 15A fuse under the dash..it's ok. Checked the "under hood" fuse box..behind my front bumper, and the 30 A WDO fuse is ok. I was doing all this with the key on, not running. I touched all the relays, and the far corner one for the ALT was warm to the touch, compared to the others..why is that? Any ideas on what else the issue could be? Aside from disconnecting the alt power, then running it straight back to the battery through the 80a fuse, and pulling the one out of the fuse box under the hood, what could have changed? Should I have left the fuse plugged in, just unhooked the one side?

Most likely your alt(the regulator inside) is taking a dump. Cars do weird things and have abnormal symptoms when alt's are dying. Replace it and I'm guessing all this will go away.

Weird. The alt works just fine though, and charges right around were it should. the alt was also just replaced not more then..a year or two ago.

I'm curious as to why both the windows and locks dont work..

If nothing else was changed recently(wiring etc), then again, I'd bet on alt. At the very least, it's probably worth your time to find a known good alt and swap it in to see what happens. Otherwise my guess is you'll be chasing a ghost until you swap out that alt.
