    charging system problems HELP

    well my car died after watching the headlights dim very slowly on the road, so the next day i changed the alternator with one from my old engine that i know works fine. so i jumped the car and drove it home with the lights and audio system on. later that day i tried tostart the car and got nothing so i jumped it again it started up fine but as soon as i took the jumper cables off the car died again. does any one know what this could be. i tested the alternator and one time it was making power and the other time is wasent.

    Swap it with a known good one, then check all your cable connections, load test the battery, etc.

      try a new battery, your car needs it to run.
