I have the same vehicle and had the exact same problem. It failed several times over a period of 1 1/2 years and would always restart until one day it just died. It turned out to be a faulty relay in the security system. Once the relay was replaced I never had the problem again.
It probably means the electrical system or charging system has failed.
Loose battery cable much?
or some other leak in the cooling system has sprayed coolant all over the engine compartment causing multiple short circuits.
It can be related to gas and electrical power.
Yes, as with most insurance companies, you do get a bit of a discount if you've taken driving school classes, and have a clean or safe driving record. It's that way with Mercury as well.
if it was electical u would notice gauges fluctuating. cougars have problems with the fuel filters getting clogged which would cause hesitation and in extreme cases stalling
the voltage regulator
Start with the ign. wires and the spark plugs.
Probably reckless. "Careless" implies something done by accident, like swerving over the line momentarily. "Reckless" implies something done willingly, without regard to the law or consequences.
In this case, the starter was the problem after 55K miles. While driving on freeway, the instrument cluster of lights flashed momentarily and then the car went dead. After coasting to the side of road, the electrical system worked fine, but the car wouldn't start. Not sure why a bad starter caused the car to go dead while driving. After inspecting and cleaning all electrical connections from the battery to the starter, and checking all related fuses and relays, I came to the conclusion that the starter motor must have gone bad. I replaced the starter motor and the car started right up. See "How to replace the starter motor."
Do you lose power when you turn the radio on? Probably electrical
No-
