1994 explorer xlt
Ok so this morning i get in my 94 xlt and start it now u know when it makes the ding ...ding...ding when u first start it ? well on the last ding it sounded like it was dying then started to sputter and stalled then i restarted and it worked fine later after shutting it off for like 3 min i got back in turned it back on then put the a/c on and it sputterd like tut tut tut tut and i hit the gas and it went away felt like it was gunna stall now my battery gauge was toward the low side near the 8 and its usually toward the 18 now i tried to see what was drawing the power so i turned my radio,a/c, and headlights off and put the a/c it went from the middle toward the low side and then the radio it went only a very little bit lower and then i hit the brake pedal and it moved alot like and the same with the window switches but as soon as i let them go it goes up again , now i have a 130 amp alt and im not sure how many cranking amps my bat is but its higher then normal so does anyone have any ideas? on what might be causing this? could it be totally unrelated from the elec?
 






anyone?
 






Electrical problems can be tough to trace. Take it to the local parts storeand have them test the electrical system, including the battery. Usually they do it for free and it can save a whole lot of frustration. This should help you narrow down your search for the culprit.....
 






Your battery is on its last leg.
