Battery? alternator?

Asked by tylersquare Dec 15, 2016 at 04:52 PM about the 2003 Ford F-150

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was driving to work and my car felt like it was struggling and I noticed the battery level was at the low end. Once I almost got to work my windows wouldn't roll up and my radio turned off. I was able to get to work I turned my truck off and when I tried to start it up again I just got the clicking noise. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You won't know until you get both tested, you might have a battery with a dead cell that can't take a full charge.

Can you get it to a parts house and have them put a scan on it? That will show you which one is bad.
