Default P0345 and P0349, she wont start now

My car recently threw out a P0340 and P0345 codes. I have done some research here and the lead me to change my alternator. I changed it out started the car and drove it around the block. Every thing ran fine and I parked it. A couple days later she was slow to start. It scared me, of which I couldn't do anything about it do to work (Navy). I just tried turning her over again and she threw out a P0345 and P0349. She wont turn over and the only noise I here is a rapid clicking sound. PLEASE HELP!

Battery. Replace it and your issue will be solved.

What year is your car? The original batteries don't seem to last long at all and the alternators are also weak. Sounds like you got hit by both at the same time. Get a Duralast Gold or Napa Gold battery. Best bang for the buck on batteries.

I'll check that out but it still has me concerned slightly as I changed the battery out not that long ago. But worth a shot. Thanks man.

Try jumping it? I believe a bad alternator can kill a battery
