Does the car stall? Are there
Does the car stall?
Are there times where it's difficult to start?
Was it ever necessary to jump start the car?
This sounds like it could be an alternator problem. There is test called a "Load Test" that can be done on the alternator. Auto Zone will do this test for free. Have the test done and post the results.
Thank you SO much for the
Thank you SO much for the reply! The car does not stall, does not have trouble starting, and I have not had to jump it.
Also, I did not have room to post this in the question, but the turn signals will also stop working. The problem will occur anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes at a time, but there are times when it won't happen for several months before happening again.
Thanks for the heads up about Auto Zone. I'll see if I can find one this weekend. Thanks again!
Could also be a connection
Could also be a connection problem. Could be a loose, dirty, rusted, or corroded ground connection. Check all the grounds. They gotta be on tight and be clean. You have to start wiggling around wire harnesses that are the steering column. Drop the access panel under the steering wheel. Do the same for the front passenger access panel. Check the harness at the instrument cluster, and left and right kick panels. If while wiggling the harnesses things begin to go on and off, you found the general area of where there is a connection problem. Wiggle the fuse and relay boxes around as well. I've seen bad connections in them as well.
