Ok... Here's the problem today....I can be driving along, rain or shine, hot or cold, day or night... All of a sudden... ABS lite comes on, gauges go crazy (needles peg,then zero out and stay) and (I'm assuming) when the battery runs down, car begins to sputter, I try to keep running.. but eventually it dies. I coast to safe place and stop, put in park... Flashers don't even try to work, .... If I turn key to on... gauges do not go all the way over as they should... if i try to start... I have nothing but dim ABS lite and a sickly sounding faint beeping... No starter click, nothing... Will not shift from park... It's been doing this about once a year/ every 9 months for past 3 years... In the past, it would magically fix itself or the last time, I replaced ignition switch and that fixed it... This time, I replaced ignition switch and it didn't solve it... I bought new battery and it starts, runs and no problem... I meter alternator and it's working as it should...then a day later after driving 40+ miles with no problems... I'm sitting in a drive through, foot on brake and ABS lite pops on.. (I'll assume cuz of new battery) stays running till I park.. Try to start again and nothing... Meter battery and it reads 11.5v. Put a jump box on it and it starts, pull jump box off and it stays running... Meter alternator and it's working just as it should... I replaced brake switch cuz I had no brake lights... Still wont start.... I've had dash open, checked all looms, plugs, gauge cluster, all wires to alternator, battery and starter and grounds, checked headlight wiring... Everything looks great.... Nothing melted, nothing weird..... ANY IDEAS ANYBODY??? If I had another vehicle to carry my tools and test equipment...
I would have pushed this to a field and lit it up. Thanks for any ideas or questions in advance...
