The bad luck continues. With my whole thread about the headlight ordeal, I thought I had it solved. I need a new blinker, hi low stick but in the mean time or Jeff, my more electrical knowledgable buddy, and I put a relay in that fit into the plug so I have low beams only.
Now after about 30 miles of driving this happens
All is good then suddenly, the battery warning light comes on and the first thing I notice is power steering is GONE. Then lights dim a little. I kill the stereo to save power and make it home. Meanwhile the battery gauge has drooped down considerably. I get home and hear a bad noise under the hood. I pooped the hood and it is the cooland resivoir, capped open and antifreeze spooing out. Is the alternator shot, if so is this working my belt so hard that I started to overheat or is the coolant system electrically powered by any means? Where do I start on this one?
What happened.
I will get the blinker stick ASAP, but I dont think this will eliminate the problem, but it will make the truck like it was before the problem
Thanks I need speedy advice
