Hey 6gers,
So my dashboard battery light came on last night. Got my car home and am a little concerned. I've had a bunch of electrical issues over the last year or so and I'll outline what's happened so far: Car cut out while driving about a year ago. Driving along, noticed my radio shut off, interior lights started dimming, then engine died. No electrical power to anything. Jumped it and limped home. Replaced the alternator and battery. Drove it a bit, then it died again. Same thing, full electrical. I figured it was a loose connection. Had my mechanic silicone the wiring into place on the alternator. Ran fine for a while. That was about a year ago. Drove to work yesterday, noticed my dash light came on. I'm thinking it's just a loose connection. Made it back from work and am going to take a look right now. Any ideas on what it could be? Bad alternator? Battery? (Both are about a year old, shouldn't be the issue?) Another issue? It's an old 96 GT, 2.2. Thanks, Eddy |
