The other day when driving my '07 GT/CS with the A/C blasting, radio on & radar detector plugged in the radar detector started beeping really strangelly so I unplugged it then the radio cut out & the radio display said LOW BATTERY so I looked at the battery gague and it waas all the way to LOW, turned off A/C, radio & detector and the needle moved a little bit towards high but each time I slowed down it would drop all the way to low. Had the battery tested & it was putting out 9 volts. The car eventually died so i had it towed to a good Ford dealer. By morning the car started for them!!! So they are ordering an alternator for it? Does it sound like a bad alternator? By the way the car has 36,459 miles on - just over the warranty but they said they will cover it. I am on vacation and was planning on a road trip but that is now out of the question and will have to take the Suburban (not much fun to drive)

Did you get a new alternator & did that cure the issue?

Still waiting on it.

The alternator was not putting anything out when I tested it, and after a full charge of the battery I can drive back and forth to work (~12 mi) without the A/C or stereo (have not tried with them). It's a true plug in.

By the way, mine died exactly as you described. First the A/C was not as cold, then the radio died with 'low bat'. After that I slowly lost everything but spark. I was able to make it home and up on the lift, but just barely. I was able to start the car up fine after it sat a few minutes, I guess the volts had come back up, but it had no capacity and would start to die again real soon.
