last week i was rallying my jeep, not too hard because it was in snow but the rpms were up there, anyways, i drove it home and parked it. today i tried to start it and nothing works, no headlights or anything. i jumped it and it started up, but as soon as i disconnected the jumper cable, it died. i was thinking maybe the alternator took a dump, and i had just run all the power out of the battery, so i put a charger on it so i could move the jeep, after 5 seconds the charger trips, telling me that there is a direct short somwhere in my system. has anyone ever seen this? any ideas? am i on the right path? also, my speedo cable was resting on the exhaust, and burnt it, causing the speedo to not work, could that have caused any of this mess im in right now?
