My buddy called me this morning and told me that his Mustang left him sit, so I went and picked him up. After figuring out that it was the battery or alternator, we took both out of my Mustang and put them in his to be able to make it home. We stopped at AutoZone to see if his alternator was bad, and it was so they replaced it, as it was only 3 months old. We put it in quick and he said his volts were low on the way home. Then we tried putting his battery back in, but it wouldn't hold a charge, so we took that to AutoZone to replace it, and that was only 3 months old as well. We get home and put the new battery in and his volts are still low and he only ran it for about 5 mintues and the gauge keeps getting lower. The only thing that I can think of is that we changed his belt last night, because the belt that was on it didn't go around the smog pump, and we got a longer one to go around that too because he has an emissions test coming up. The previous belt was going around the fan pulley the wrond way and we put the belt on the wasy the Ford diagram shows how to on the core support. Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on that the gauge is sitting lower than normal, and is getting lower? Thank you for any help.
