Hey Sexy car fixin guys!!!

ok now i have your attention...

Here's the deal... The problem began after I was driving a bit, but all my "check something" lights came on including my ER brake light

In addition to that when I went to go shift, car continued to whine even after I shifted and then when i put gas on it, the whining would stop. My battery light especially was on. My radio would cut in and out

So I unplugged my battery and it worked for like 5 min and everything went bad again... Any suggestions as to what it could be?

Alternator drive belt perhaps? What kind of car is it?

I'd help you more, but I'm afraid my abs are not as toned as they were a couple of months ago.

go to autozone and ask them to test your alternator. if its bad, buy a new one there.

then stare at it and your engine bay until it makes sense.

then proceed to replace it

8/30/2006 5:28:14 PM

if dan cant do it no one can

8/30/2006 5:29:13 PM

yeah next to where the big limb is blocking 1/2 parking spots

8/30/2006 5:30:18 PM

ok sounds good to me...
I honestly hope its just the alternator

^ ha ha I was like wtf that sucks... I would have been pissed if that damn limb landed on my car...

there's no need to hope. thats why you have Autozone test it. they go out to your car w/ a machine and can do it. its free

8/30/2006 5:34:52 PM

or just check it with a voltmeter

8/30/2006 5:35:26 PM

i dont think she has one or would know where to stick it

8/30/2006 5:37:43 PM

ohh man thank god its free.... Yay! I don't know much about cars...

tomorrow morning I am going to take it in... and see wehats wrong with it

^ yup... I haven';t a clue

I know alot about animals and nothing about cars
