So tonight I got out of the theater around 10pm, there had been blowing rain for about 2 hours prior. But before the rain (8pm'ish) I had gone in the car to charge my phone, get stuff amounting to 3 or 4 times. At the end of the night I get in my car, turn the key, lightest click ive ever heard, so I figured I killed the battery, it sometimes happens when I leave the music on while I'm in the garage. With no booster cables I started it by compression... BAM starts up, i drive off, 1 or 2 kilometers down the road i loose power steering, headlights turn off, radio flickers off, window wipers move real slow, 5 seconds after that throttle gets choppy i floor it up the hill, it stalls and I park in a subway and get a tow home.

if its the alternater...fml...$$...

dont make fun of me please, if I ask stupid questions.

Get your charging system checked at autozone first before you assume jts the alternator.

$300 brand new for an AC Delco unit yeah, but there are cheaper aftermarket alternatives that would probably work just fine for $100+.

alright, turns out my started jammed, and drained the battery and then the car wouldnt start cuz the starter was stuck. smashed it with hammer as much as humanly possible and its not moving, at least we found the the problem.. should be putting in a new one monday

it's always a good feeling when you do find out what's wrong.
