Mend Ford Windstar Electrical Problem

'03 ford Windstar electrical problem?

WE have a Ford Windstar and it has ran great until yesterday. As I was driving I noticed the ABS and brake light on. A little while later the battery light came on. When I was coming home I felt the car sort of giving out. When I make it home the battery was dead. We decided it was the alternator and battery. We replaced both and then it ran good today until a few minutes ago. Same thing happened only this time ALL the electrical stuff went out. Like the radio, signal lights, A/C, electric doors and so on... So I am trying to figure out what it could be. Any ideas? The car will start up great, it is just after it has been going and when you want to get more power?

Ford Ford Windstar Vehicles, Cars Ford Electrical Problem

Try checking the main ground line (negative) from the battery to the car body and the engine block. Any corrosion or slight looseness at these main terminals will cause the problem you describe. The bad connections become progressively hotter the more electrical power you take from the system until eventually no power can flow until everything cools down again.
