Hello,

This sounds like you could have a problem with your vehicle's alternator. In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions from the vehicle manufacturer on how to replace your vehicle's alternator. The alternator is responsible for charging your vehicle's battery when it is operating. When it fails you will lose all electrical power and the vehicle will die. Please go through the guide and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
