82 280ZX alternator probs???

Featured Replies

Hey Ladies & Gentlemen,

i have yet another problem with the 280, the battery seems to keep going flat, sometimes this happens when im driving & i just loose all power and the needles on the speedo & taco just drop, the car still has enough power to play the sterio & the lights & all still work but it does not have enough power to turn over the engine.....

also when i drive it most of the dash lights come on & stay on untilll i turn the car off again....

from memory its, CHG, Fuel, Brakes & Doors

the logical guess would be the alternator but would this cause all these lights to come on????

this is my every day driver & i have had no problems whatso ever like this one.....

thanks, Mellow:dead:

It very well could be the alternator. when the alterntor went out of my roomies 79ZX, it made all the warning lights come on as well.
