I jumped the car and as long as I ran the engine faster than idiol the car would run. When I the car go to idiol it would cut off and would be completely dead and not start. Also, while it was running the radio would cut on and then off. When the radio was on everything worked like it should but when the radio cut off the back window wiper would start to work and you could not cut it off. Is this because the battery is dead and is just pulling all charge from the alternator out of the system?
