Hello,
Sort of sounds like an alternator that is not working and a discharged battery on top of that. You may want to charge the battery fully and see if runs until the battery looses power. Does the battery light work in the instrument cluster? Is it on when key on car not running then go off when car starts? Look at the alternator and see if a green with white tracer wire is attached. Next check if the ground cable on the alternator is attached? That is seperate from the positive connection on the alternator. The alternator is mounted in rubber bushings and needs the housing grounded. Let us know what you find. Good Luck, Bernie
