[QUOTE="10thAnnvCobra, post: 7924569, member: 26675"] Ok, for the past few months my battery light has come on occasionally. A few times when driving with lights and wipers (rain) the turn signals have flashed slowly and the wipers were very slow. Finally, I was driving last Friday night and the battery light came on again (it was flickering and not staying on). Soon the dash lights went out and a few miles later the car died and click click wouldn't start. With 78,000 miles I still have my original battery and alternator so I got the car home and replaced them both using Motorcraft parts from a local Ford dealer. After putting some miles on it the same flickering battery light is back! WTF? :dw: Any ideas? I was all pleased that I had fixed it... I guess not. :shrug: The first thought I had was a loose ground somewhere (maybe) or a bad alternator or battery (not likely)? Please help me figure this out. Thanks :beer: [COLOR="Red"][B]EDIT: Problem is fixed. See post # 10 below for the solution.[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
