Having extreme car issues.

Asked by Guru942Y65 Sep 21, 2020 at 06:37 PM about the 2011 Ford Fiesta SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta. My old battery which
wasn’t even originally that old kept dying. I replaced
it with a new one and about two weeks after that
my battery was dead again when I tried to start it
up. I got my car jumped and left about an hour into
my drive I lost all power to my car I was able to get
it to a parking lot and turned it off. I tried restarting
it and it wouldn’t turn back on. My dad looked at
the alternator and he said that it was still working
but he’s not sure if it’s going bad. Would that be my
issue or is it something else?

You might have multiple issues. One is a parasite draw , that is draining the battery with the car off, and two you might have a battery cable issue or short. Check your battery cables and the connections on both ends for corrosion and clean as necessary. Is all checks out, it might be time to have someone look it over for you that is good with auto electrical work.
