#63 of 69 2003 LS electrical problem by pennyll Jul 07, 2009 (4:52 pm)
I replaced my 5 year old battery right after Christmas 2008. In April 2009 when my carpool dropped me off at the lot, my car would not start. Alarm went off and I was able to turn off with key fob. Friend jumped the battery and car started. Took it right to the dealer and they keep for two days and could not replicate problem. On June 22, same thing happened. Friend jumped the battery again and had no problem until July 1. Went out to go somewhere and the car would not start again. This time had car towed as is to the dealer. They have had it almost a week now and cannot replicate the problem. They say they have checked the battery and it is holding a charge but thinking that something is staying on and draining the battery. They say they have put all kinds of voltage meters and checked everything. I tried to talk to the service rep and tell him to make sure that they set everything like I had it - auto lamp delay on, radio on and a/c on then turn car off. Haven't heard from them yet. My extended warranty is up mid-September so I am trying to get this resolved. Any one else have this problem or have any suggestions. Up to now may car has been great and I don't want to purchase anything else at the moment but it scares me to drive far from home and take my carpool to work. Called Ford today and their only suggestion was to take to another dealer which is not that easy. Replies to this message: clairec (Jul 12, 2009 8:16 pm)

Replying to: pennyll (Jul 07, 2009 4:52 pm) Yes!!! Five trips to the dealer, the problem was NEVER replicated, 1500 dollars for fuses..wires.."stuff"...no solution..another new battery..again no solution...I gave up..took the car to a guy working out of his alley garage, he put in an alternator, it's been two years..and everything is fine!! It started for me after I was rear ended, I have no idea but I continue to suspect something came disconnected. Now I have a new problem, two dead cylinders..hate this car.
#65 of 69 2000 LS auto lamp delay by foursf Jul 14, 2009 (1:00 pm)
Ever since my son had a fender bender, he ran into someone, the auto lamp delay function goes on and off at will (I have always kept it off) with that irritating beep. I have replaced the entire headlight switch but it still is happening. Any help will be appreciated.

Car battery is losing its charge. Replaced Battery first, as there was no warning light to indicate it was not being charged. Ran great for about 50 miles of driving, then car started to run rough--probably because the battery was losing a charge, but still did not have the battery discharge warning light. Had a electric system check at Pep Boys--and they said it was the alternator. Replaced the alternator, but have the same problem still. Voltage at battery when car is running is between 11.6 and 11.4. Is there another key electrical component that I should replace?

Replying to: darl444 (Aug 12, 2009 3:07 pm) Found the problem...would you believe a lose connecter on the new alternator. Evidently didn't get it seated correctly on the first installation. Works great now. Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Aug 14, 2009 5:42 am)
