I have recently been having an issue with my beloved Taurus. The battery light intermittently will turn on, and only goes off when I put some really high RPM's on it.

I've replaced the battery at the suggestion of a local mechanic, but that didn't do anything. They said my alternator was fine.

It has failed to start twice now, each time making a high-pitched whine. The whine is constant, not ticking.
