I was about to merge into traffic this morning and decided to turn on my headlights. As soon as i turned the switch, the car started to stall, all the lights in the instrument panel (airbag,checkengine,seatbelt, etc..) came on. I quickkly turned it off and everything was fine. The radio wasn't affected but i had to change the time back. Does anyone have any clue what happened?
It didn't happen anymore after that..


What could it be?

 

What year is your car? Sounds like your alternator isn't powering your battery, or your battery won't hold a charge.

 

Its a 97... alternator.. hm. should i expect to see this problem again?

 

Certain 97s were recalled for their alternator. Mine is probably one of them, but seeing how it is sitting on jackstands the car isnt going too far.

 

yea thats your alternator mine just did the same thing go to your local dealer theyll check your VIN and if its one of the recalled u get free alternator

 

Nice sig! How do u do burn outs with the fwd? Is this a pull the ebrake thing or what??
