06 GT, towed, battery?? Alt??
2006 GT conv (if that matters, 83K miles, very nice shape), driving home, after 2 miles the 'volt gauge' needle bounces some, heads to the low side, ABS, Trac Cont lights come on, red battery comes on, radio turns itself off.
I stopped by a friends house to get towed home to be safe.
Once home, it starts with Jump Pak, only 13.2 v across terminals.
Thoughts?? I will borrow a friends code tool, but if anyone has thoughts now, I am open. Yes this dang thing has the battery drain issue, but I keep a Battery Tender on it.
Thnx

If it happened while driving, I would lean towards the alternator being the issue. How old is the battery? Running a battery dead is a sure fire way to shorten the life span so depending on the age, you may want to consider a new battery. But most shops can do a load test on the battery and give you a yes or no for the battery health.

Sounds like your alternator is failing. However you also need to solve the battery drain problem. The Shaker 500 ICE system is a common cause so if you have it, you might contemplate ditching it for another system.
