Had the same problem. Was a "reversed" cell on a battery near the end of its life. Replaced the battery. Everything fine afterwards.

Loose connections.. possible at the battery or starter or back of alternator. check and clean connections at battery. move wire harness in or around fuse block while engine is running. Does moving wires recreate the problem? check connection at starter motor. check for corosion. remove negative cable from engine and clean good.

Red battery shaped warning dash light on now car won't start no battery no blinkers

The battery ran out of power because the alternator is not charging it.
Have the alternator output tested and take a look at the fuses.

2005 Pacifica lights dashboard gauges etc. started blinking like a crazy light show inside the car. Car stalled & wouldn't start again. We jump started it and it started within minutes of the charge....

My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica dashboard lights are completely black. I was driving along and I applied the brakes and the whole car went black. It didn't shut off but all the lights went out in the inside. I pulled over and turned the headlights off and back on and the radio, temp, and headlights came back on. But the cluster instrument panel (dashboard lights) wont. We have changed the fuses several times and the panel lights up for a couple of hours, but every time we apply the brakes to stop the fuse blows and the panel is back dark. Help me plz, I am a single mother, full worker and full student on a tight budget and I need all the help possible. plz email me at [email protected] if you know whats wrong with my Pacifica.

Car stalled while driving. went to start it and wont kick over ACC lights don't turn on when turning key.anymore radio does not turn on and windows as well could fuse prevent car from starting? and if so...

Sounds to me like the main engine fuse has popped
Usually a 30amp fuse
If fuse is ok then check the connection to the battery cable as well as the ground wires to engine and chassis
Problem will be there

1995 Ford Windstar NO Dash Lights no radio no tail lights

I would check the wiring on the radio. Lot of cars (especially nowadays) the electricity like the lights and raido is hooked on there. If any of the wires went bad, or maybe even the radio would make it cause that.

So just remove the pannel around the radio

unbolt the radio

Pull the radio out and check all the wiring.

If the wires are not bad, maybe check to see if the radio is working.

If this dont help, I might know something else

2005 g6 stalling

I would suggest checking your wiring (core wire on the distributor, plug wires and the negative battery ground) I would imagine that the forward motion of the vehicle is possibly making your wires lose connectivity and making the car stall. Just a thought though.
