Truck Died at ford dealer today!!
i was at the ford dealer today looking at the 08 Focus they had a really nice looking one there i need the MPG and 35mpg is sounding good, and they guys were checking out my truck they loved it! i started it up and everything shoed them my hid's and strobes and all the good stuff.
when i went to go leave i went to start my truck and it was dead my interior lights were working and when i go to start it would just shut off all the dash lights??
so the guy brought a jump pack out and we started it and it was fine. i was like WTF now i got a damp problem at the ford place i was thinking on trading it right there lol.
when i got home i shut it off and tried to start it right away and it was dead again same as before.
what could do this ???
the Alt? and i got a new Red Top like 6 months ago

it drives fine when its jumped. could that still be the alt? whould it shut off if it was not producing the power?

correct me if im wrong and i probably am. your spark comes from the coil not the battery. So if your alt is dead it would have nothing to do with your truck running.

i had the same thing happen to before i was looking at a upgrade from the car i was driving. Then i came back to that car and it wouldn't start. My problem was the battery. The car was under warranty so i got a new battery for free. Real crazy how that works its like the car get mad at you and screws up :)
