99 regal electrical gremlin

I had not went anywhere today. I drove about ten minutes when I got to a stop sign to make a right turn my 99 regal dash lights flashed after turning the signal on they did not stall the car. a few minutes later after I made a left turn with no problem. I started to make a right turn and before I could the car died I put it in park it started up fine and no issues since. I recently replaced the battery and a fuse under the hood last week. I drove all day friday with no issue. Any help or suggestions of where to start looking would be greatly helpful.

Re: 99 regal electrical gremlin

Sometmes - and I'm not saying this is your situation - but sometimes a battery is replaced when in fact the problem is (also) the alternator. A new battery can carry the load for a while, but if it's not being recharged by the alternator, your symptoms might appear. Sounds expensive, but that was my experience.
