I think I was ripped off from a local dealership?
I have a 2008 Ford expedition. Last weekend it would turn over but not start. We had the fuel pump replaced. Today, the same thing happened. I checked the voltage on my battery this time, and it was at 10VDC. When I jumped my car, it works fine. Could the 200 dollars to replace my battery, have saved me 1200 for the dealership from replacing my fuel pump? Wouldn't the computer system tell them this?
Probably not.
If the car was cranking over normally and not starting, then the batter was OK at that time. So chances are it wasn't getting any fuel, hence the new pump.
If the battery voltage is down, you wither have a bad battery, or the alternator isn't working properly. But if the car runs OK after a jump start, then chances are the alternator is working, just the battery isn't holding charge.
Check your alternator
No they most likely fixed your car.
You can ask for the bad pump that they replaced and connect it directly to the battery. If it works, you got hosed.
- Why would you think my 2008 Ford H 53 chassis Motor home engine randomly cut off and the ABS light come on? Ford Triton V10 when heading up a hill sometimes the engine will cut out and the ABS light on the dash comes on and goes out. The engine continues to run and we get home just fine. Seems like power is getting cut off or something.
- My local Dodge dealer wants to buyback my 5 months old 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost? I received this letter from the local Dodge dealer saying they're short on 2017 used Ford Mustang, therefore, they'd like to buy my Mustang at above market value. I'm curious at what kind of offer they'd give me. I know this is some BS they're trying to pull, but what do you guys think?
- Sun visors on my ford fusion ripped off, what do I do? My dumb friend ripped off the sun visors completely off in my 2012 ford fusion. Where can I go to get this fixed and how much might it cost?
- Owner of 2003 ford focus, car keeps needing a jump. Last time I did when the cables came off the car shut off? The car lasted a couple of days the last time I jumped it. I believe It's just my battery but how would I know it has anything to do with my accelerator as well?
