  • What the heck?

    Ok so i was driving down the road on my way home. I was probably going about 45-50mph in 5th gear, and all of a sudden all my lights, headlights, stereo, and everything electrical turns off, then back on. Then i notice i have no power steering. So i slow down to make the turn into my neighborhood, and then when i accelerate i realize the cars like.. not on.

    I turned it back on, everything was fine.

    ...Any ideas?

          Your car jsut died...

          But sounds like your altenator is going bad.

          But before you replace it, go out and clean up your battery connections and the connection of the power wire to the alternator.

          Also when your car is running, what does the battery guage read?

              What can you clean it with? My car just stalls out while driving all different speeds and I have no idea what is causing it. Could it be something so simple as dirty wires?

                Clean your terminals with baking soda and water.
