Default Car Will Not Start! Help! Please!

Hello to all! Its been a long time....lol! Ok! I was driving and the ABS & the Traction control lights came on, so I pull over and stut the car down and check under the hood, I see nothing. I start the car back up with some problems starting, I started to drive and the two lights come back on. I pull over again and shut it down, then when I went to start the car again, click,click,click! Had to call a tow truck! What do you guys think?

Everything is working, but the car will not start! Alt, Battery or Started? What do you think! Thank for any help, Denny Carlton!

based solely off of what you say my guess is your alternator. i once had this problem with my camaro, had the battery tested first, it was fine, took the alt off and had it tested at autozone and she was cooked,,,

bad alternator.. take it to autozone or autopart to have it tested.. also test your batter there as well not with a regular voltage metter but with a load tester as the battery may show the 24v but won't hold the boltage (current) under load.. same thing happened to me and had to replace both..

its your alternator... when you get the new one save the broken one because i think you get money back for it if you bring it to autozone.
