Is this most likely an alternator or just a battery problem? The thing is that I ran into something similar two months ago and Walmart tested it and said that the battery was dead (which was really annoying because that battery was pretty new), and I therefore bought a battery at Walmart.
Before you jump on me with the Walmart battery, please remember that it was at 7am in the morning and no other shops were open and I had no choice.
Fast forward two months now...the car is doing the same thing. Should I take the car back to Walmart and have them replace the battery, or is that not going to help at all?
I doubt I can get a refund now...stupid me. Will only buy Motorcraft batteries from now on.
Well, what I'm worried is that if it's a bad alternator, which will run $300-$400 according to a local Ford dealership. It's just very annoying that I've already spent nearly $2000 on the car these few months while it's worth probably nothing more than $4000.
So any ideas? I do have 3-year replacement warranty on the Walmart battery.
