One problem related to alternator/generator/regulator has been reported for the 1998 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I'm not sure why this problem is happening. Whenever I push the button to let my windows up, turn off my read defrost, or hold any buttons too long the battery light will flash. I was driving down the highway and I turned off my rear defrost and my battery light flashed, then my head lights went out and my car almost shut down, then the lights came back on. The next day, it was night time, and I saw another Taurus do the same thing. Being that time is changing and I need my head lights, I would hate to have an accident due to the fact I cant see. I have had my car checked to see if the alternator or battery was going out, but all the checks were good. Please help with this problem.
