Biggest Nightmare!

As most of you might kmnow my car has been in the shop due to a accident I recently had.
Well I got my car Wednesday night. Looking at the car from the inside everything looked perfect. I got in my car very happy and went home. the next day i go outside to look at my car in the sun and they did a very good job besides that theres a blemish of paint next to the hood emblem which they said they can take care of that so no big deal. Back to repaint on monday. Later in the day yesterday as I am driving my car i notice that my right headlight is a lot more powerful than my left and all of a sudden I get "Alternator Visit Workshop" on my dash. Moments later my car turns off radio says "low voltage" ESP, ABS lights turn on. Windows wont roll up.
So I called the body shop and demanded them to fix evertyhgin. they ended up towing the car to the shop yesterday night. So I should hear something from them today or by monday knowing that they take their sweet@$$ time!!
Anybody have any ideas what it could be? The only thing that makes sence is that when they rewired the fogs or the headlights they messed something up.
I dont know guys but I always realize that nothing ever goes smoothly.

That could be the notorious voltage regulator, very common problem with C55 Alt. I hope everything will go smooth with your car. Good luck!

Good luck with the car. You are a bigger man than I............if my wife (of 10 years) had done that to my car and caused me this much grief she might find herself living in our shed.

Let me know if you need a ride!

Off Topic.....Hey, just noticed your in your sig that you have a 2009 HD Nightster. I just bought one myself about a 3 months ago (1200). Mine is all black and I had the drag bars and shorter braided wires put on it so far. I grew up in Ft. Myers and see that you are in the right area for a motorcycle. Have fun and be safe.

I think I put a picture up in the Motorcycle section of this forum if you want to check it out....it was before I got the bars put on, but you'll get the point.
