I can't figure out why my battery keeps dieing.
Battery light on when car is OFF
Battery light doesn't light up when key to ON position
Car runs, like a beast, for 5 minutes before dieing from dead battery


My car is kicking my @$$

So after you charge the battery it'll run for a short period of time then dies?

If so, your alternator is bad, once started the car pretty much runs off the alt. shouldnt die for a dead battery. Hence why roll starting will work if your battery dies and your stuck somewhere.

Could possibly be a bad alt cable, a blown fuse in the alt cable, a bad connection of the alt cable, check these things and if it still doesnt work take the alt anf have it tested.

Im not quite sure, but i think theres one in-line of the main alt cable, and check all fuses in the box also.

All the fuses in the box are good.
Anyone know where the inline fuse is located?

That is my last option before I must tear apart the entire compartment, Again!
