dead car

hey guys, im having problems with my car. it wouldnt start so i figured it was the battery and jumped it and it started just fine. i took the car out for 10 mins and it ran fine but i noticed some electrical things werent working. and as soon as i turned it off it wouldnt start again. i think it might be the alternator but im not sure. what do u guys think?

battery, cable, loose connection, ignition switch, ground.

no..bc after jumping it the neext day i took it for a drive and after about 5 mins it died while i was driving in the middle of hte road.

I'm not sure about your car just dying out of nowhere, but for the misc. electrical equipment failure, did you check for blown fuses?

sounds like a bad alternator AND/OR there's no water in the battery, causing a weak voltage (get a new battery too)

should run on alternator after started and then on battery if the alt. goes out. fuel or fire?

i swear i may be new here but ive seen shit like that happen all the time and everybody always forgets about the main relay>>>>it could be the main relay happened to me in my old car:banghead: it was a bicth to figure out and cost me 500 dollars fixing every possible other thing then 75 bucks later problem solved....

Did you ever find out what was wrong with your car? My car did the exact same thing in July and I still don't have it running. It will jump start just fine the the gagues and lights will go crazy then it will die out of nowhere right? I changed the alternator 2 times and got a new battery. If you know anything I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks. Bethleen

i had the same problem about 8 months ago with my car. The car ran just fine then i noticed some of the electrical stuff wasn't working and then i stopped my car and turned it off. It wouldn't start at all, I couldn't even jump start my car though because the alternator was completely dead. But I replaced the alternator and that fixed my problem, so more than likely it's your alternator.
