waiting for the tow truck driver...
 
well i was having low voltage problems so i replaced the alternator and the battery. it was still low but i drove it anyways (i know it was stupid). on my way home from the store my volts start to drop down... and down. first my turn signals stop working, then all my service engine lights come on, then my abs off light comes on, then everything goes dark. only my engine was running. i knew if i stopped the car it would shut off... ofcourse my house had 4 stops signs to get there and quota hungry cops always at the ready! so i decide to take the back route, 2 less stop signs. i get on there and ofcourse im behind a slow ass truck... my car starts to sputter. im freaking out at this point. my biggest fear in life is breaking down on the road and having people honk at you and shame you. so im revving like crazy to keep my car going. we get to the last stop sign and i made sure it was safe and i was able to put by and pass the truck some how. from there i made it to the top of my street, where my car completely died and shut off and i coasted it right in my drive way.


this sucks.

Wow...at least you made it home safe. Sorry about the voltage problems...I'm sure you'll get them ironed out soon.

Good luck bro!

I had the same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago. Man what an experience! Anyways Checked the red wire that connects to the alternator. That was my problem! Good luck!!
