OK I am going to do my best to try to describe what happened today. I was on highway with the a/c blowing and the spedometer died and the airbag light went on and the spedometer went back up again and then died. The car drove fine until I got into the driveway and then I lost all power, it was really weird I was lucky enough to have power to get the windows rolled up before the car died completly. Anyone have an idea? Is it a battery, an alternator or something else? Thanks for any help!

Pete

normally when lights start coming on like that and the guages act weird it is the battery, get a multimeter and test it out

Ok New update, the same exact thing happened to me again today and the car will not turn over dead battery, I am wondering if it is the alternator but where the car died is not in a spot I can test the alternator. Anyone have a listed procedure on how to change out the alternator on my 2.0L DOHC? My car is a 1999 Contour 4-Cylinder. Someone please help! Thanks in advance.
