yeah.. that sucked. I drove 50 somethign miles to my friends house today, it was all fine. no problem. the car stayed there for about 7 hours.so, I got into my car, drove it home. here is what all started. I was on the car for 20 minutes. it was all fine. then I hit the traffic on the high way. I noticed my cluster light were going dimmer and dimmer. Car slowed down, try to to give it little more gas. No power at all. then it Jerked and jerked. finally it stop completely and could not start the car whatsoever. And I was in the middle of the high way.

tow truck came.. and my car is at one of the huge parking lot now. I guess it will be fine for the night.

what i am thinking is the battery is dead? but it's a new battery. I put it in a week ago. every electronic on the car isn't working. no crank, no headlight, notthing. except the clock is still on.

guys, Please help me. I am 50 miles away from home. I am staying in my friends house for the night.

what the helll is wrong with my car.

sounds like your alternator, have you checlked to see that the belt is still in place and tight? not a big deal you just need to replace the alternator assuming the belt is in place a tight

evildky is right.. its most likely your alternator... the brushes inside are prolly worn out and you need to replace it.. charge the battery and start her up.....
