Playing with the electrical "system" on the 5ktq
Charging system seems to be having issues.
Batt & brake warnings come on & dissapear. Pass. window not working. Brake lights sometime stay on. Antilock brake system disconnected, & I haven't piced up a bently for it yet (as if that would help much)

Essica has decided she needs a rad swap... but..
the weather isn't going to cooperate. Today it is a balmy +3C as a high. Tomorrow morning I will wake to a nasty -29C with the wind chill factor. Unpleasant to say the least.
Anyone want to sponsor me for a green card so I can work in the south?

My 89 200TQ has done the same to me before...
I thought it was the alternator, but when I had it tested, it checked out fine. Turns out there's something in my car (possibly the alarm) that applies a small, constant drain to my battery. It was only able to take so many drain cycles and it ended up toasting the battery. It seemed to charge fine, but a load test revealed the battery was shot.
