    All the sudden car is just dead?

    Ok, well like 3-4 days ago i hooked up my 2 gauges and ran the wires to my corner light, so when i turned my headlights on, my gauge lights would come on, yesterday i finally got my water temp. gauge hooked up, went to work, came out of work, car started fine, then by the time i got home the gauge for the batt. read it was almost dead, so i shut car off, tried to restart and it wont start.... so i charged the battery enough to get it to start, then let it run for 10-20 minutes, went outside, and the gauge said the batt. was COMPLETELY dead... wtf is going on?

    Redneck way I've checked altenators is to start car up and take positive battery cable off. If the car still runs alt is charging
