[QUOTE="Brian95SVT, post: 593893, member: 8705"] UPDATE: Ok... well... Yesterday I was coming home from my college (went up there to figure a few things out) and was on the interstate. I noticed that my battery light was on (in the dash, next to the CEL) and then I looked at my battery gauge and the needle was in the "red" part on the number 8 side (really low) So I kept driving wonder how it would be as if my car wasn't on... when i was driving. So I pulled over, the second I come to a stop.... it shuts off. So I get out (on the side of the interstate) and pop the hood. Usually if I pull the battery cable off (red cable) and wait a second then put it back on it starts back up.... did this... didn't fix it. So after a while of sitting there with no luck in the blazing sun, I call AAA (towing company) and get the car taken back to my house. Its sitting in my drive way and still won't start.... I'm about done trying to fix the stupid issues with it but I keep running into a brick wall when it comes to this. I don't understand why my car keeps dying. It's not blowing any fuses like it was before thankfully. I have the following NEW/replaced parts that have ALREADY been installed (which didn't fix the issue): 1 - Alternator 2 - Battery 3 - Coil packs 4 - Battery terminals 5 - Spark plugs 6 - Spark plug wires 7 - Replaced all blown fuses (from other issue) 8 - Rewired/fixed: headlight switch, foglight mod and any frayed wires have been patched. I'm not sure what else to do. My car can't just be killing off batteries or alternators left and right.... Any suggestions. Please remember to fully read my post, so no posts like "did you check the battery or alternator" Thanks, and I hope someone can lend a hand. -Brian [/QUOTE]
