Get a load check done on the battery. In the 8 1/2 years we owned our 96 Mystique, we replaced the battery twice (once under warranty). Extreme weather swings (the car saw +40 to -40 degrees C) combined with short trips to work every day really plays havoc with batteries. And we had to go to Ford for a replacement, no aftermarket batteries available in Canada that would fit when we needed to replace them, both times in the winter. Good luck.


Howdy Southerner......
The 'Search' thing will produce an opinion that the Ford replacement battery will last Longer than CanTire or other brands. 6 years and counting with Ford and 3 years for most others I've had.......
