Won't Start

Asked by Thecullingiscoming Jan 28, 2020 at 04:17 PM about the 1985 Cadillac DeVille Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So my car was running fine yesterday, this morning
I got a jump started right up, on my way to my next
destination I lost all electrical my speedometer
went to 80mph and the car started running
sluggish, I drove it another half mile to the gas
station, put it in park at the pumps, it ran for a few
more mins, and died. I turned off the ignition
waited 10 min and got another jump, nothing? Not
even a door bell ding no lights no sound just quite,
can you help me?

Sounds like a charging system failure. Have the alternator and battery tested.
