How to fix a car electronics after shorting the battery?
Jul 09, 2007 by indiantrumpet | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
My pops replaced an alternator for my Nissan Altima ('2001 GXE) yesterday and forgot to disconnect my battery before starting the procedure. Now the car electronics are dead. The car runs when I turn the ignition and drives alright (though the engine block vibrates alot more than we started. . . probably because the tensioner is not set to the correct length), but the dashboard, horn etc etc do not work. Does this mean that I just need to replace my fuses? Or is there more damage done than before installing the alternator? I am going to go to the parts store later today. Please advise.
My father and I looked into the car yesterday and found that it wasn't the Fuse box right next to the battery that was dead, it was the Fuse-able box that was dead. So right now, the radiator fans, anti-theft, air conditioning, power windows etc etc are the only ones that are not working.
only way of telling is to check it out look at all your fuses you can try an reset everything by disconnecting -ground cable for a few minutes

If almost everything is dead but the car still runs , check for a fuse-able link.
I don't know if your car has on that looks like a conventional fuse or the wire type.
I'me pretty well 100% sure of this answer.

What enegry source does your car use for the car electronics?
May 24, 2007 by Decrot | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation
when a car is started and running, what does the electronics of a car use as an energy source to power them up (i.e. radio, clock, headlights, interior lights). do they use the gas or the battery?
It is powered by your alternator. The battery starts your car, then the alternator takes over and powers your car plus charges the battery.
Your engine powers the alternator which generates electricity. So indirectly, you use gas to run the electronics in your car. But it's not like turning up your stereo really loud is using any more gas than normal.

CES 2010: Electronics show meets car show
13.01.10
Organizers of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) say it is the largest show of its type in the world. Having attended a few times, I have no reason to doubt them. But as the convergence of the electronics and automotive worlds continues, CES has become quite the car show, too.
With some 380 in-vehicle electronics exhibitors showing their wares in just one of the three main halls this year and other automotive accessories, apps, and widgets scattered about, CES looks more like a car show every year. And with the Consumer Electronics Association predicting sales of in-vehicle technology to top out at more than $9.3 billion in 2009 once the dust settles, it’s no wonder so many auto-related exhibitors show up.
It also helps explain why Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally delivered the opening keynote speech this year. That, and Ford’s announcements about the latest enhancements to its Sync information and entertainment system, along with their new MyFord Touch dash and instrument controls. As another Ford exec pointed out, even tires and auto glass contain electrical components, thanks to tire-pressure monitoring systems and windshield-mounted radio antennas.
