Car battery died and car stalled when I pushed the window button?
"Hi! I have a 2001 Ford Mustang 3.8L and for 2 weeks the battery light has been on… The battery is brand new about a month ago I got it and the alternator has been running fine. Today the battery died and the car even died while I was driving home… Soon as I jump it it makes a weird noise like a siren pitch from a fire truck but not too loud if you understand… Anyways I pushed the window button to roll the window up and then the engine stalled and battery died. I'm hoping this can be a easy fix… Not sure what to do. I have had ppl tell me it could be the ground wire bad or window motor that drains the battery… Need help as soon as possible.
Alternator might be running, but its not charging. So, replace your alternator.
You probably need a new alternator, have the output checked.
Did it not occur to you that the battery light being on means that your battery is not being charged? You need to get that checked out and see if it is a corroded connection, bad alternator, loose belt or something.
That's not the battery light. That's the warning light to inform you the battery is not being charged. I'm surprised you made it driving for 2 weeks. It must have been daytime driving. The headlight will drain a battery with in 2 hours when the alternator isn't working. The alternator is not "running fine" when the charge warning light is on!
- I bought a new ford focus sel hatchback with 29 miles, after 3 weeks the battery died and they replaced it with a new one. It died again? Can they trade my car for another one. I'm not gonna keep paying for a car that don't work. It has 300miles now
- How to fix window from 2006 Ford F150 that isn't power window but rather manual? My window seems to roll down perfectly but when I try to roll it back up it makes popping noises and is very difficult to roll back up and I have to use my hand to push it up. My Windows are not electrical but they have have the old style manual roll. It's the passengers seat. If anyone knows how to, I'd be happy to know!
- Can I successfully program a Ford 4 button key fob on a vehicle that uses a 5 button? My 2005 Navigator uses a 5 button fob; lock, unlock, lift glass, power lift gate, and panic. A replacement 5 button fob costs a lot and I have a brand new 4 button fob. Does anyone know if it will successfully program to the vehicle? I'm really only worried about the lock/unlock feature working, not so much the lift gate
