Default Help

Well i went to go to work and my car wouldnt start all i heard was the clicking sound.So i replaced the battery and then it started up fine,but when i am driving around and i stop and my rpms go below 1000 the battery light comes on.Next day the new battery goes out so i replace it again, and now its doing the same thing.I need some help on what it could be.

Thanks, Dro

turn you engine on, while the car is running, disconnect the positive cable on the battery. if the car dies then you have a bad alternator is bad. your car should run while the positive cable is off. good luck
