i found out my alternator was bad today. the guy replaced the battery and the alternator from another ford taurus. Everything seemed fine until I was driving back home and all the gauges went down, radio turned off then my lights went out then my car completely died. Could this be the voltage regulator or possibly the wiring. What are the options on whats causing this to happen? Dont want to buy a new alternator then have to buy another because something was wrong elsewhere.
