1Quik7 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 well it started a couple weeks ago, got home from a weekend away and her car just dies...so i jump it, she gets home, has her alternator and battery checked, they are bad, so has them replaced. after that her battery light still kept coming on, so she had the new alternator checked, it was puting out pretty low power, so they gave her another new one. i guess the same problem remains, only putting out 12v or something, i dunno wasn't present at the time. she came home this weekend, said the car was jolting, it's an auto and would only shift into 3rd gear, and it just plain dies on her on the highway...and it was giving off a very strange buzz sound i could even hear over the phone. so i go down to help her out, disconnect the neg cable to try and clear any bad codes, the car starts right up, we get onto the highway and 100yds later it dies.

Dave1647545494 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 check the main fuse it should be 100 or 120 amp if it is not blown pull the alternator and have it bench tested if the alternator checks sout on the bench test replace the pcm as it regulates the voltage hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
