Car Did Something Weird Part 2

Yeah, my car acted up today... i was driving, bout to change a lane turned on my right blinker... (I had my music loud), the volume went down n up and my SOS button lit up. I'm scared there is somethin' major goin' on.

PS. I dont remember but I think the dash lit up too... it was like the battery lost power.

Check your voltage of battery with car runing and not runing. Use post under hood infront of brake master cyc. black box with red + and use ground post near it. Your reading should be OFF (12.9+) ON (14+) If everything looks good then check with engine on and run RPM's up and down to see if voltage drops it may be a Alt Reg? Batteries take about five years to go bad unless you drain it then any day it will fail.

I think I'm just going to take the car to the dealer and have it thoroughly checked and end up paying a few thousand... not bad for being an 18 year old with a Benz. HAHA. Let's hope it was that high pressure washer that got water everywhere.

If your 18 then it's time to learn how to repair the small things on your car so when your in the middle of nowhere with a hottie and AAA can't get there you can make it home. to
