Last wednesday I was driving home in the fog and my air bag light went on, then my controls all died (no dials - speedometer, fuels etc) and then the car died. My boyfriend tried to jump it with his Ford Focus and now he needs a new alternator. I had my car towed to Ford and they had it for two days and said it was a weak battery. I paid my $15.00 and drove off.
Tonight, I was driving home - in the dark again - my car stalled a few times, the same air bag light came on, the dial died, and the car coasted to a dead stop and will not start.
I asked Ford to make sure it was not the alternator and they said no - just a weak battery.
Any feedback - any similiar expereinces?
And why did my boy friends alternator die? They say he needs some hard to get wire that leads to the alterantor and Ford doesn't have it.[???
