Hello everyone,
I lost my license a year ago today. Now that New jersey says I can have it back I started getting my car ready. 1994 Mustang GT. So I gave her a couple new tires new battery new headlights (smashed in accident) drove it to my new place and the next morning the battery was dead. The car was running long enough to charge the battery around 7:00-8:00 pm the next morning it was dead. The atlernator is giving a charge no lights are staying on. Everything is off in the car. The car sat for a year, then about 2-3 months ago I changed a bad radiator and redid the whole cooling system (flushed, new coolant, new gaskets, thermo.) Car drove fine for about 90 miles when I moved it telling me that the battery is getting a charge. Now I dont know what to do. I dont really have the money to start changing the electrical system piece by piece. I have been told that often the starter can short out from sitting for so long. (starter works fine) But may have short. Friday I make that rediculous trip to DMV. Im trying to get what I need now so this weekend I can fix her. Theres no way I can get my lisence back and drive another car. My baby deserves to be driven this weekend. Please help me...... Thanks.....MIKE
