Description of the problem | I was driving down the freeway at around 6:40am in the dark when sensors in my vehicle started flickering on/off, then the ambient lights inside the vehicle started flickering on/off before shutting off, then the stereo went out, then the headlights shut off, and then the entire vehicle shut off. There was no warning light that the battery was low before all of this happened. The repair shop the car was towed to said the battery was dead and wouldn't hold a charge. When they tested the alternator after replacing the batter, it was found to have zero output. |
