2002 Windstar Sport - Flickering power and AC

[sseguin]

Hi, i just bought a used Windstar 2002 Sport. Everything is in great condition. Yet tonight i was idling while parked for about 20 minutes with the AC running. Then all of a sudden, i could hear the relays or whatever under the drivers feet compartment start clicking, the digital odometer readout was flickering and the radio clock display flickered too. I then shutdown the van. When i tried to restart, it took about 3 times to start back up.

Anyone else have this problem? What is the solution? Is the repair costly?

Thanks

Any comments would be appreciated.

Car died today, must be the alternator cause the battery died and the car lost all power while i was driving.

At the dealership now, getting fixed. I'll post the final results and the actual cause later.

Final results:

The alternator was defective.
