Electrical problem
2000 Chrysler Concorde Automatic 151500 miles

I have a 2000 chrysler concorde lxi - The car has a check engine light on. Recently I would be driving and the car when i would put on the breaks would cut all the electrical gages off, lights would flicker and than all the electrical gauges and lights would go back on once I would start driving. Today, the car started fine in the morning - I came out from work and the lights were on, alarm workedbut as soon as I would go to try and start - No start. Putting the car in on position everything would shut off all lights, gauges and no horn. Please tell me what the problem could be - thankyou very much.

I guess I would start by inspecting the battery cables and alternator output. If it wasn't for the horn you mentioned, I'd suspect burned contacts in the ignition switch or overheated terminals in the switch connector.

The fastest way to do a quick check on the alternator is to measure battery voltage while the engine is running just a little faster than idle. Voltage must be between 13.75 and 14.75.
