I have a 2005 Ford Explorer.  Since i have had it if i give it alot of gas
when i pull out the "Check Charging System" light comes on a beeps.  It
usually only stays on until i quit giving it alot of gas.

A couple days ago the "Check Charging System" light start flashing and
beeping about every minute.  Still the explorer would start fine and run
fine.  Just the light would flash and beep every minute or so.

Then this morning everything start acting weird.  The Airbag light came
on, the tracking system light came on, and the "Check Charging system"
light came on and off faster than it was.  Then all at once it lost all
power.  The engine was still running, but no radio, no gauges, no power
windows, no no lock, all power seemed to die.  I managed to get off the
road and stop it.  

When i tried to start it the battery clicks like it is dead.  So i got a
jump start and it starts up, still no electronics, but the engine will
turn over.  The major problem is the vechile won't pull foward now.  I can
reverse with no problems, just won't pull, so i can't get it home.

Does the electrical system control the pulling power?  Also, what would
cause it to show the "Check Charging System" light to come on everytime i
give it alot of gas?

THanks,
Matt E
