You have to first determine if the car is not charging or the battery is dicharging first before we can help you.

You have to get a hold of a volt meter and with the engine running see what the voltage is at the battery if the battery is charging it will be between 13.5 and 14.7 or right around there .

Once you have this info in hand post back and we can help you.
