2000 ford escort zx2 electrical issues?
This has only happened a few times to me,
and they've been slightly different each time
it does, but I was hoping to get a general
idea of what to look at. I have a 2000 ford
escort zx2 automatic with 150000 miles on
it. I bought it about four months ago, and the
previous owner had let it sit in the garage for
two years. I replaced the battery and had the
alternator checked, and had the oil pan
replaced after it cracked and had the oil
changed. The first time was I was on the
express way using cruise control, I tapped
my brake to turn off cruise control and all my
interior electronics shut off for less than a
second and came back on. The second time
was I slowed to turn into a parking spot and
my engine shut off, not sputtered or
anything, just shut off, along with all the
electronics. The third time was I was exiting
the express way and as I pressed the brake
to slow to a stop, my electronics(radio, AC,
dash lights) all shut off for a second, then a
low fuel signal showed for a second and
they all came back on. This same thing
happened two more times while in park
when I pressed the brake before I planned to
shift into reverse, but hadn't touched the
stick yet. It has only shut off the engine
once, but it's still concerning. Any ideas
would be appreciated. This morning it
wouldn't start, I had it jumped and it ran to
work, but the brake lights stayed on after I
shut it off, had to unplug the battery.
What is your question please.
The question is why is my vehicle doing this, or advice on what could be.
IF you CAN AFORD IT A FORD PLACE TO GO
- Car electrical issues? I have a 2001 Ford F-150 crewcab. The truck died while I was driving and the dash lights went crazy the speedometer went nuts the doors lock and unlock on their own. So I don't know if a dead battery is just causing the system to go nuts. Or maybe a bad ground someone. Any help would be great thank you.

- Can a Ford Escort ZX2 haul anything? It has an overdrive option, and would just like to know if it has the capability to haul anything. I'm NOT trying to haul anything big, just a something small a few miles down the road and do not have access to a truck and it is just a little bit too big to fit inside the car. I don't know anything about cars and I do know it has an overdrive option and have never used it, and would just like to know if that is a reason to use it.
