Re: Please help...
Check the belt and make sure it's there and check tension too. Start with the battery connections, then go down to the starter, and then to the back of the alternator. If they all look good and are tight pull the alternator and have it checked at a parts store. Another check is to put a voltmeter on the battery terminals just after you start the engine and see what voltage is there...check the battery voltage with the engine off first to give you a base line. With the engine running it should be around 13-15 volts, and with the engine off just over 12 volts.
