after driving around for about 20mins. i park and do stuff, i come back to my car....its dead...wont start...CLICKING SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...said Battery was Low and "Service engine soon" . . .soooo i got my car jump started....while i drive, if i touch the windows (down or up) my headlights flicker...radio goes funny n ****....and more....

i just need a new battery right?

 

or an alternator. Get a parts place(autozone or pepboys) to check out the power in both.

 

That definitely sounds like a dead alternator, but you're gonna need a new one of those and a new battery too.

 

I cant help but laugh because so far all you've had are problems with your new stang

 

wow your a dick.

 

I didnt mean to sound that way. I was being sarcastic, sorry if I offended anyone.

 

yeah that sounds like alternator.

 

Wouldn't the car die after being jumpstarted if it was a dead alternator?

 

how much is a new alternator? i kno batteries are cheap..

 

Its a good chunk of change.......its about $130 for a Palladium at Advanced auto. If your cheap like I am down the road there is about 4 junk yards and i'd just pull one off there or they already have it pulled off. Your in my area so just check out the ones on SR50/E Colonial

 

how do i kno FOR sure its my alternator? or do u all kno it is since like 6 of u said it was....lol could i just et a abttery for NOW and get an alternator in a week or 2, or is that a no go?

 

Nope, you're gonna need a new one ASAP.

 

The purpose of a alternator is to recharge your cars battery as it is on.....If you get a new battery it will do what it needs to for a certain amount of time but with no charge you have another dead Batt on your hands.........The fact that your radio and stuff has issues sometimes the alternator is to blame

Edit a matter a fact there is a guy on Fuelslut.net who can give you a hookup on a interstate battery and i'm sure he can give you a good price on a alternator. And if it didnt get better than that he's in Orlando....SO go to Fuelslut.net check out the classifieds and theres a sticky on Interstate Batteries

 

well i dont got the money for an alt, and no time to go to a junk yard when i got work at 4....

 

I wouldnt wait on something like that....Just spend the dough and be on with it...no point in drying out another battery

 

Well if youve got the money or not. you have no car if its not replaced. You are in the position where you have to replace it or you arent driving it.

 

guess that exhaust willl have to wait huh guys...?

i got 80, mom owes me 200, so 280.....50 for a battery, 130 for a alt?

so ill be down to 100 lol, w/e...gotta see if my mom will gimme some cash she owes me...lol

 

ok my dad checked it out and says its just the battery, i said alright...im getting a new battery and he's putting it in......I said that IF the battery DIES again cause of the alternator, he has to buy me a new battery and imma get the alt....

 

I have my stock alt for sale out of my 03 GT. Less then 20k miles perfect condition, no problems at all. Ill sell for $80 plus shipping. I dont need it because I put a bullitt intake in.
