I don't know, but I have the same problem. My radiator cracked and my battery light and brake light came on ALL at the same time! I got my new radiator today and went to crank the car to drive it to my friend's house and it wouldn't crank. Ggrrrr...I hate being a girl sometimes!
== my answer ==
Commonly this is caused by the failure of the accessory (known as fan or alternator belt) drive belt
This causes the alternator to quit working and the engine to overheat, perhaps ruining the engine.
What else can I help you with?
Battery acid leak in car 2 months ago didn't know it was toxic and have been smelling fumes since then What should do now other than get a new car?
You should be able to clean it up if the problem is solved. Most batteries are outside the car- I wonder why you smell it at all. Battery acid is not especially toxic, but do not drink it, of course. I suspect that you smell something else. Could there be an exhaust leak or maybe the heater leaks antifreeze into the inside of your car.
What should you do if on your '93 Taurus the temp gauge fluctuates and you can smell antifreeze?
Make sure it is full of coolant. There probably is a small leak causing the smell. Check it cold as sometimes it leaks cold but not hot.
Is there a brake fluid sealer that works for brake fluid leaks?
NO, the problem needs to be properly repaired. its not like an oil or antifreeze leak. the basic principle of a brake system is the free movement of fluid through the brake lines. an additive to this system to "stop" a leak would ruin the whole system and be catastrophic to fix. brake leaks are generally an affordable fix.
1999 GMC Jimmy smells very strong of antifreeze. Can not find any leaks.?
A few places to look: Check to make sure you have a good rubber seal on the underside of your radiator cap. Get a mirror and look at the backside of the engine block for wetness meaning a leaking intake manifold especially if you have a 4.3
What could the problem be on a 97 dodge ram if antifreeze still leaks badly even after the thermostat has been replaced and the radiator and pump was pressurized by a professinal and found no leaks?
Where is it leaking? That pressure test sounds funny, why would you pressurize only the pump and radiator? If you are leaking coolant outside the engine, locate the source. If you are losing it from the radiator but cannot find a puddle suspect a head gasket problem. Check the Radiator cap first, if it is bad high pressure coolant will travel back to the overflow bottle.
What happens when you over fill the battery?
it leaks
Your 2004 H2500 Chevy smells like antifreeze but their is no leaks?
smell of antifreeze and no visable leaks usually indicates that the heater core needs replacing
Is antifreeze the same colour when it leaks out of radiator?
Same color as what?
My coolant light does not turn off?
going through a jug every 4 -5 days cant find no leaks when i fll antifreeze light comes on and off
Why is oil getting in antifreeze of your 87 b2000 causing thermostat to stickand engine overheat?
Oil/antifreeze mix is usually caused by head gasket leaks or valve cover gasket leaks.
Antifreeze leaks out when you pour into radiator?
Find where it is running out and repair the cause.
Your 1997 Ford Escort wagon leaks antifreeze but cannot be found?
no
What happens if you swallow a battery and it leaks out?
You get super charged like the energizer bunny, meaning you shall be forever known as a supere hero
When you urinate you think you finish but then some leaks out?
Yeah, sometimes that happens. But, if alot comes out of you, you probably need to be checked.
What happens when metal wire is connected to a battery?
I believe it causes full power of battery flow to the neg. Where used photons of energy should be. Perhaps it gets hot enough then leaks?
Can a intake manifold gasket cause antifreeze to leake?
Yes. Antifreeze is actually pumped through the intake manifold. If the gasket is bad it is possible that it leaks out
Antifreeze leaks along the valve covers?
Could be the intake manifold gaskets are leaking.
