What Should I Fix First?

Asked by Guru9D642V Nov 15, 2020 at 09:11 PM about the 2002 Mazda Tribute ES V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Trying to see what could be the problem with my
2002 Mazda Tribute. First my ABS light popped on
the after a few minutes of sitting with the car
running my dash lights started to fade out. The
when i put the truck in gear and pressed the breaks
my truck shut off. I jumped the car to see if i can
make it home but it died again. Some feel its the
alternator due to it gaining power but shutting back
off. Also my breaks lights came on & the check
engine light had already been on for a week prior to
this incident. Any ideas of whats going on cause im
lost.

Were you able to get the codes the check engine light was telling you about?
