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 " snipped-for-privacy@sbcglobal.net" thanks Ronnie
