I was driving, everything seemed fine, and then my battery light came on, followed by the check engine light followed by all the friggin lights. I thought I had some time, but about a half hour later, my radio died, then my lights dimmed and the car died.

I tried to boost the battery, but battery acid wound up coming out/bubbling out of it. I replaced the battery and the car started up fine.

The problem is, now a lot of my electrical components are not working. The light gauges don't work, the radio doesn't work, the interior light don't work, the pwr windows and door locks don't work. My headlights, brakelights, hazard lights, and so does my interior brake light indicator.

WTF is going on?!?!?!

ALTERNATOR! LOL! I am pretty sure its the alternator. Let us know if that batter dies again?

Or fuses like Jerusy said... But i am willing to bet it will be the alternator.. if not, then i will feel like a jack ass. lol!

ya, if the car died while you were driving I would get the altenator checked.. But the lights and gauages and stuff not working almost sounds like you blew some fuses..

I 3rd that stock motion.

I too had the same issue. The regulator died and it stopped charging my battery and the alternator only supplied a enough to barely get my car moving with enough power (unless I was WOT). Check your alternator and battery fusible links for 12V with the car off and 14-ish volts with your car running...as per manual.

Odd, my fuses look fine. I was going to get the alt checked today but the friggin snow dropped. Right now what's not working are the radio, heater, door locks, pwr windows. I am going to replace my fuses anyway, and get my alt checked/replaced.

Yea, silver, I was reading about that in the manual. I know the shop around here will check my alt for free tho.

Thanks, all.

please tell me you're not just going to replace random fuses?

Look in the owners manual and it will tell you the locations & purposes of each fuse.
