Reader Question
It’s me again sir,
It seems like both of my Ford vehicles want to act up right now…..My 2003 Ford Taurus SE battery died yesterday. I recharged the battery and it is dead again today.
I jumped the car to get it started and it started with no problem….when I took off the battery cable the car died again…could this be an altenator or regulator issue???
Well hello there again…
I would first try a new or a known good battery in the car and see if you just have a bad or weak battery issue. If that does not solve your problem, you might have a bad alternator or some other charging issue.
Make sure the battery cables are clean and TIGHT, a loose cable can cause all kinds of problems.
