Hello everyone, I''m new to the site and very excited about being a memeber.


My problem is I have a 2005 V8 Mountaineer and everytime I leave my hazards on for even 10 minutes the battery dies, but onceI jump start itthe car runs fine.


Any ideas on what could be causing this problem?[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

 

sounds like the battery needs to be replaced. it may have a couple of weak cells in it. you can get it tested at any autozone and most other parts places.

 

Thanks, I will get a test this week..[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

 

10 minutes, I am surprised it has enough juice to turn the starter.

 

if it starts like my MGM, then half a second will kick it over in the morning.

 

It doesn''t have enough juice to fill a coffee cup, I normally have to jump the battery. But after that it runs fine..

 

That just means the alternator works fine. The Battery should be your only issue then.
