THEN THE CHARGING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING! HAVE A MECHANIC CHECK THIS FOR YOU. POSS. ALT DAMAGE FROM TRYING TO CHARGE DEAD BATTERY, AN ALTERNATOR IS NOT DESIGNED TO DO THAT. WHO CHECKED THE ALT. FOR YOU?

I agree with wetry check to see if there is power going to the alternator if there is then your alt is probably shot
