Hello, about 2 months ago I was driving down the road & noticed the Drivers
side window was moving VERY slowly. I thought the battery was going dead. I
paid no more attetion to it. Later that month, as I was driving, the abs
light came on , then the battery light, when I pushed the brakes, the
speedometer went form 40mph down to "0" as I was driving. Basically, I
figured the battery was going dead ? and or the alternator died & I was
running on battery only power. The car sat in the drive for a month , DEAD
, no power. I purchased a NEW alternator, & put it in. Well the battery was
so dead, it would not re-charge, so I bought 1 of those too. Now, today I
went to the post office, 4 miles away, & I rolled the window down,, & well
it was moving at turlte speed. I put on the windsheild wipers & they were
going slow too. I had to ship some stuff & had to get tags. So I shut off
the car, went in to the post office, inside 15 minutes. Then jumped in the
car, started fine, went to the tags office, another 4 miles or so. Checked
the window & such , still moving slow. Got to the tags office, shut her
down. Came out & she was dead. Would not start. BUT the radio & door light
etc. were on. Figured the Battery was not completly dead. I got a jump from
this guy, & booked it home. As I was hitting my brakes along the way, the
same things were happening. Speedo freakinn out, abs light coming on &
off,. I pulled in my driveway & it died. Now, for the strange part. I
checked the belt, it is tight, then grabbed my volt meter & checked the
battery....it read 11.99-12.04 ???? Can anyone help ? The car will not
start right now, it is acting like it's dead ? my reply email is

Sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere. Check the thick wires
leaving the battery and follow them to where they end.

I, also, have a 95' that seems to be having the same problems. I went ahead
and replaced the alternator and belt hoping that would fix the problem (not
an easy job BTW), but some of the idiot lights are still on (although much
dimmer). I'm also having problems with runs rough idleing. The DTC indicates
a bad knock sensor (code 34). Might try looking into that next. If you find
out what to do, let me know too.
