Hello


My user name is Hoppy. I live in South Louisiana. I work as a IT helpdesk support technician. I am pretty good with computers and I can work on just about anything. However, my 2005 Crossfire limited roadster is about to make me loose my mind. I bought the car in 2008 it had low miles and I drove it a little when I first got it. Since it is my first sports car I have been very careful to not put a lot a miles on it. It only has 72,000 on it now.
So to start out I haven't been able to put the top down since last fall. The passenger side low beam has not worked even after replacing the bulb and the interior lights will not work either. I cannot lock the doors with the remote. Although It Was running and driving great. So I was using it as a backup vehicle.
I decided to drive it to work today. I had no Problem on the way in this morning or at lunch when I drove it about 2 miles to pick up lunch. Then this afternoon when I left work I got almost half way home and notice that battery light on. I figured I would get it home and test my battery to see if it was shot. I kept driving and at 6 miles from home the ABS, Something ESP and the air bag light came on. I thought it is probably my alternator going out but it was still running fine. Then in about 3 miles the radio went off the spoiler light was flashing and the convertible top light is flashing. I look in the rear view and notice that the spoiler is up and I haven't been to 60 on the road I am on and also noticed smoke pouring out of the back. I stopped and so did the smoke I checked under the hood and the smoke did not seem to be coming from there. At this point I only had a couple of miles to go so I brought it on home. I did notice when I went to take off it didn't seem to be pulling properly it then started picking up speed and I made it in the drive way. I shut it off looked under the hood again I saw no melted wires or anything that Looked like it had been hot. I also checked the trunk and didn't seem like the smoke came from there either. So if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.


Thanks


Hoppy
