Not charging after using the jump terminal to run a motor.

I ran a small winch motor from the jump terminal yesterday and today the GL is not charging.
Doubt I trashed the alternator but could I have blown a fuse?
Maybe just a coincidence failure of the alternator?
Thoughts?

sounds like you cooked a couple of diodes in the regulator. Any OBD codes?

Didn't get a chance to check.
It decided to run out of battery power just as I got to the airport parking.


Surprised that it would, but at 120K parts are getting old.
Was hoping there was a fuse in the under hood connection block that I might have popped.


A little out of my control, since I had to have a local Indy shop take a look at it while I am out of town.


Just trying to get a guess as too how much this is going to cost.
