Alternator on this car is mounted low, and it has no factory front crossmember anymore due to big FMIC. The alternator line goes forward to the crossbar I built to hold the FMIC, and was strapped to the back of it. When I bottomed out the car, I didn't mention that I tore the bumper cover off it's mounts (not actually that big a deal...designed to pull out). The P-clamps holding the cable to to the crossmember spun, pulling the cable down and under the crossmember.
You literally had to bottom the front end out, tear off the bumper, on a hill, while in reverse, for this to ever happen.
OOPS! :P
