electrical problems
I have a 1999 TL with 40,000 miles, I bought it a month ago.
No (major) problems until last night, I was driviing 35mph in the city when the speedo and the tach went to the top and bottom several times, the check engine light came on for 5-7 seconds then the dash went dark with no guages working at all. (
I drove for a few more blocks (looking for a safe place to pull over) when the radio died I turned off the heated seats. two or three more minutes went by and the headlights wend dead and I pulled into a parking lot, the engine shut off. I pushed the car to a proper stall.
I let the car sit still for 10 mines and then the car started up like their was no problem. I can go for a mile or so and the problems start over.
A local mechanic said it was definatly an alternator problem, but another mechanic told me that it was in no way an alternator and the car hs a bad computer chip. I don't want to drop the car off at a mechanic that is trying to take all my money.
Anybody had this problem? Anyone know a honest mechanic in Spokane WA?
