Total BlackOut

Total BlackOut
Parked the car last nite after quite a good drive. This morning everything was dead.
No panel lights ... nothing .... !!
Jump started it. Drove for a while, it seems fine now.
Got it checked from Autozone, they suspect is the Alternator.
I've also been getting the error codes for like a month also.
00849 - S-contact at Ignition/Starter Switch
31-10 - Open or Short to Ground - Intermittent
The error above, started coming after I installed the Greddy Turbo Timer.
Followed the directions where you tap into the VAG Connector.
Greddy Turbo Timer Install
I dunno if the error code I'm getting and the total BlackOut today are related somehow or what.
Has anyone seen this error. What should I check for .. ??
How can I check if Alternator or the Battery is bad .. ??
Appreciate your replies ya'all.
Thanks.

RE: Total BlackOut
no prob, they don't mention the power drain (I just randomly picked some posts) but the codes are related to the TT install and possibly bad connections. So i guess if you used wiretaps vs soldering that could be your problem.

RE: Total BlackOut
hmmm ... seems like its related to the Greddy's wiring.
Found a fix here http://cjsupra.kendra.com/GrdyTTfx.html
All they did was swap the Green and Blue wires.
Dunno if it will help mine at all.
[Edit]If that don't work, I will try soldering[/Edit]
