Thread: Name my problem

Well i was driving home from work today and i notice the windshield wipers getting slower and slower, then the radio dies on me, then the instrument cluster dies, then the car made no power and i slowly rolled to a stop on the side of the highway. I get out and check but see nothing out of the ordinary. I left the car running and proceeded to rev the engine for a while thinking my alternator is going bad. eventually like somebody flipped a switch the car was fine but just as a precaution i drove home with out cutting on anything unnecessary (radio, lights, wipers) and it made it fine. Like i said thinking the alternator is gone but what do you guys think? Any help is appreciated.

connection to the battery check for loose... connections has acid on them

alternator would cause this.. but you would see battery light turn on

it's your tire pressure

Alternator more than likely wasnt charging the battery for reasons of corroded cables, loose cable, disconnected cable, bad alternator. Just look for the basics.

SWEEPY is smoking rocks.

I suppose i check all the wiring. I didn't see a battery light on but the airbag light was flashing. Also i have a grounding kit on the car i wonder if that has anything to do with it i might try to remove it and see if it helps

Blinker fluid?

Sorry.... had to. Nope.. I'm with Danny on this one. Check your connections.

your alternator might also be loose, causing the belt to not turn the alty, but at certain times "break it loose" and she works fine. Check the belt tension while you're in there.

I'll check everything i can think of and what you guys suggested tomorrow after work. i have to rely on a friend for a ride to work, so i need to get this thing back going asap. Thanks again everyone for the tips

Im on conections too.

i had bad terminals and somethings like that happend to me.
