- '97 Mercury Mountaineer
Guys i need some help. Two days ago my '97 Mountaineer:exp: was running just fine, I put some refrigerant in for the A/C and it was downhill from there. While driving I noticed the check engine light came on, then I noticed the battery gauge was reading low and steadily dropping.
As I continue to drive everything goes haywire! My dash lights eventually fade out to black, my headlights start dimming, the radio goes off, ABS light comes on, and a strange beeping is coming from dash. By now the battery gauge is sitting right on the "L"(low). My headlights go completely out and the truck shuts off.
I can jump the truck off but the power drains right back down and it turns off. Any ideas????
