Our 2000 Mustang continually needs to be battery jumped. Took to shop, they said not battery or starter. They said it's Ford car alarm that is draining battery. Now what?? How do I disconnect or repair without big cost??

As a retired electrical engineer this intrigues me. If you were my neighbor I would put an ammeter in series with the batteery lead to see just how much current is being drawn by the "mystery" load.
When you disconnect or hook up the battery can you see any sparks when the cable touches the battery terminal?
If the battery can get run down over night that is a significant drain.
If there is some sign of spark when you connect/disconnect the battery lead try the following.
Selectively remove a fuse in the fuse panel, (starting with the larger fuses, 15A, 20A) and then connect the battery terminal and see if you still have a spark.
Hope this helps Good luck Loringh

That sounds like your traction light. Does it have a trac button on the dash? If so, try switching it and see if it helps.

Dependant on engine size and fuel type, any size from a 390 amp battery, if it is diesel then a 590 amp battery. No special tools needed, only a small ring spanner. Make sure yyou disconnect the earth lead first. Also you will need to enter the radio code after changing batteries

Your alternator should power everything when engine is running. Battery is only for start up. Test voltage with a multimeter when engine is running , should be 14V or more . Any less indicates low alternator output.
