Turns out, the wiring under my hood is all dried out and the insulation is flaking off everywhere. I mean every wire in the engine area is dried out and cracked and some places have bare wires. I've already invested $650 in labor and parts, it still wont charge. they want to lay new wiring from the alternator to the battery, they said this would take approx 4 hours at $68 an hour. They ran a jump from the Alternator to the battery and it started to charge, so the wiring is suspect. They cannot guarantee that replacing the wiring is going to help.

I'm coming close to a $1000 here, what is your opinions? Should i stop the insanity and call it quits? How hard is it to run wiring through? Thanks in advance.
