Did you have the alternator tested? It may have been shakey and finally died.

Check the alternator, make sure the wires are all connected as they should be. Jump it, start it. Take off the jumper cables. Engine die? OK, battery good, alternator bad. Replace it. Put the charger on the battery overnight. All fixed now.

i'd verify the wires under the hood its a sequence of them that run by utilising the brake booster they run right into a pig tail and connect with a diverse pig tail i think the gasoline pump twine is pink yet do not quote me on that, turn your ignition over then jiggle the wires and see in case you pay attention it hum in any respect because of the fact those wires can from time to time additionally exchange into unattached in the pigtail.

Good way to test the alternator is once the car is running, disconnect either one of the battery terminals...either pos. or neg...doesnt matter which......if cars dies when you do that, alternator is bad!

The alt. may be going out and or the regulator. You will have to have someone to test both of them. Most places like auot zone will test the alt. if you take it off and take it to them.
