I've got a problem.......

Ok, i have the problem, it's saying, "I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack" Well, my battery is goin dead again. My battery light has been on the last two days. My amp or whatever guage was on 8, or red. And i was driving tonight and whenever i got on it it went bup bup bup.... when i didn't it was fine, and my speedo was goin back and forth all the way across...i just put an alternator in it and a battery not long ago, but before i replaced alternator so quite possibly the battery isn't taking a charge? Please help, when i got home, i just got in the drive and she died.. coasted 3 feet from my parking spot.....

Please help me!

Likely not getting charged properly. I would assume the alternator before the battery, but it could be either. I've seen new parts go bad quite often (usually its the reman, so opt for new if its not too much more). You can take both in and have them tested. If they are bad they are likely under warranty.

It's the alternator, or in the alternator circuit. The bat light is lit because the alternator isn't putting out. If it's been lit for 2 days, you've been running solely on the battery, and you finally drained it. Put the battery on a charger overnight, if you have one, and take the alternator back tomorrow.

Take care,
