Description of the problem	My battery light came on the dashboard came on, after a few minutes it went off, a couple of miles later it came back on, then off again. I checked my voltage gauge and it was fine. A couple of miles later i noticed my lights were dimming, i checked my voltage gauge again and it was reading zero. Minutes later all my electronics went out, no headlights, taillights, brake lights, my speedometer went out and everything else on the dash. Then the engine started misfiring and the vehicle shut off. This all happened while i was driving. I lost my power brakes, my power steering and had no lights. I noticed that while i was waiting for a tow truck, me head lights and tail lights were stuck on. They were on only enough to see the element in the light bulb glowing. The key was out of the ignition and the light switch was in the off position. They stayed on for the entire time i was with the vehicle, which was over an hour. The dealership said all they did was charge the battery and found nothing wrong. What caused the battery to lose a charge? They (ford) could not answer that question and sent me on my way! *jb
