My car was running fine and all of a sudden the battery light came on. I took my car home and left it over night. I got back in the car in the morning and started driving to work I got about 20 minutes away and it just quit running. I had someone jump it so I could get it home and it just shut off as soon as the jumper cables came off. I replaced the battery and alternator and still the alternator won't charge. Any idea's I am ready to burn it, lol. Please help

Hello,

This could be a problem with Fusible Link 1, which should be on the red cable coming directly off the positive battery terminal. In the diagrams down below I have included the wiring diagram of your vehicle's charging circuit as well as a guide on how to inspect fusible links. Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out, and we can continue on from there, if needed.

Thanks,
Alex
