MAYBE YOUR ALTERNATOR IS BAD. OR IT'S PATH TO THE BATTERY IS BROKEN

CHECK YOUR FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS/ LOOSE/ BROKEN CONNECTIONS

DO YOU HAVE A VOLTMETER AND CAN TEST DC VOLTS ---AT THE BATTERY (BOTH TIMES) CAR RUNNING AND CAR NOT RUNNING?

YOU SHOULD HAVE ABOUT 12.5 VOLTS (OR THEREABOUTS) NOT RUNNING, WITH A GOOD CHARGED BATTERY

13.5--15 VOLTS RUNNING

THIS TEST MAY VERIFY WHETHER THE ALTERNATOR IS ALTERNATING!

KEEP US POSTED

Have the alternator tested. If it is good, check the fusible link between the alt and the battery.
