Driving along dash lights started flashing, headlights went out and car died with the top down but the funny thing is that we were able to put the top back on, but the car will not start or turn over, no lights on the dash, headlights will not come on. Any suggestions?


Thanks Pete

 

Sounds like a major electrical short of some sort

 

It's on a flat bed uhaul coming back from San Antonio going straight to the shop in Houston, funny thing it started right up and drove on the flat bed, needed to make and adjustment and it just tick like the battery was dead.........

Have you checked your (+) and (-) cables on and from the battery, to alternator, as well as grounds, and to the fuse box?

I agree though, sounds like it might be a major electrical issue.....

 

I thought I would report back seems to have been the altenator 750.00 worth (ouch). I never seen the things that this car did from a dead altenator.... The mechanic said I will need a new cable box the one that sits on top of the battery.
