My 2001 Ford Taurus wagon started stalling out. The last time it stalled, I put it in park and tried to restart it, but nothing happened, absolutely nothing, I had no lights, no battery, not even the remote for door locks worked. I was in the school parking lot, a teacher came out to help me and we couldn't get anything out of it, It was like it was dead. After a few minutes someone else showed up and I was telling them how nothing worked not even the remote for door locks worked. And I clicked the lock button on the remote to show them and all of a sudden it worked, I got in and it started right up like nothing was wrong???

+ It sounds like an Alternator problem...
I would try and replace that with a new Alternator
or Try replacing your battery first and see if that fixes the problem.

Does it point out as overheat by way of gauge or fool mild? Or does engine compartment spew coolant? does coolant degree minimize slowly? Coolant is also a transparent-brownish appear, now not all coolants are the fluorescent inexperienced anymore. If darkish rusty brown, then whatever in approach is rusting (Radiator, heater middle or tube and so forth) -Inspect entrance fins on radiator...too many lifeless insects or grime blockading airflow can purpose this. -Check for correct operation of radiator fan and or fan grasp. -Cracked coolant reservoir are identified disorders on a few Taurus. -Some Taurus have a entrance engine quilt simply in the back of in which water pump is hooked up. This quilt holds coolant and stocks a few bolts with water pump and might want teflon tape on threads to scale back small leaks. Check for leaks round mating surfaces and bolt holes. Removal of bolts calls for draining coolant. If leaking, the entrance quilt elimination is a rather lengthy exercise. -Internally the radiator, heater middle, a tube and or hose might be blocked. Even although you flushed this does not imply all blockage particles is eliminated. It isn't special for those to drift freely for the period of flush after which clog up once more if tons of flakes & particles are in approach. Removal and thorough flush (soft shaking and flushing over a number of mins) might support. Bypass the heater middle to get rid of it. Isolate and flush radiator and if well drift and blank, do equal for engine with heater middle bypassed. If radiator or heater middle look fairly dangerous within, I might recollect exchanging to get rid of long term disorders. If all of those are corrected and investigate out, then it can be an inner engine drawback (now not always coolant).
