Loss of electrical power, but car still ran

Jan 08, 2004 1 Replies

Hi there,



I own an 89 Chev s-10, and while driving a couple of nights ago, all the lights, radio, etc. died, but the car still ran fine. Any ideas what the culprit could be? When I got home, the battery was completely dead.

The engine is usually the last thing to die. Basically you have a fault in your charging system, likely either the alternator or battery (or both.) Had you kept driving a while longer, the engine would have probably cut out as well.
