New battery, good Alternator, car shuts off.


Recommended Posts

Approx 3 weeks ago battery saver light came on while driving home. All warning lights came on shortly after (20minutes)into drive. Car started losing gear. Made it home. Had alternator checked by two different places. Says its fine. Had battery replaced. Was ok for one day then it happened again after sitting overnight. Currently waiting for tow as it wont start after picking kids up from school. (2min trip). What is wrong???? Any ideas would be helpful.

Start at the source and work your way from the stove it could be multiple items as Larryl mentions. 

- Have the battery tested

- Make sure cable are nice and tight, and clean

- Make sure the ground is connected securely to a clean metal surface

- Test alternator (looks like that's done) 

- Check starter... don't know if the car didn't turn over or was just plain dead

From there you need to get fuses and relays checked. Then an experienced electrical shop. Good luck.
