battery light was on for a day as i was driving the car. It took a jump we managed to get the car home we had to jump it 4 times,The funny thing is as long as the jumper cables are attached to the 2 cars it stays running as soon as you take them off it stalls,does it sound like the alternator or a pulley because it makes a noise tensioner pulley and idle pulley was replaced also the belt

Replace the alternator, and also have your battery checked. It may be due to be changed too.

It is defiantly your alternator then because the car need the battery to stay running and if the battery is dead and not charging, it will stall. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

jr mechanic is right
give him best answer
it is the alternator
the battery light comes on when the car is not charging
after you replace that then hook the battery up to a charger for a day, it is fully drained

perhaps it could be something simple as your battery cables being loose.
i had a 98 taurus, and i had multiple problems with it. I can't tell you how many times I had to replace the serpentine belt.

its the alt. all the battery is there for is to start the car once it is running the alt charges the battery and runs the rest of the electric system.

if you need the alternator(and it really sounds like this is it), let me know what the engine is that you have and i can look it up to make sure your being charged fairly.
