This happened to me once and I had just enough juice to get me to my dentist appointment. Radio died and everything. After my appointment, I was given a compliment on the car, and immediately had to ask the same person for a jump (how embarrassing.) The battery simply would not hold whatever charge it was getting. I had my husband drop by with an extra alternator that I had, and we installed it and got a new battery for it. Car was able to make it the same distance home before everything started failing again. What are the odds that both alternators, and both batteries (old one was only a month or two old) were bad?Eventually we discovered that the wiring connecting to the fuse box had corroded off. Alternator wasn’t charging the battery, and the battery was the only source of power until it ran dead. Fixing the connection, it never did it again.</blockquote>
