Your 1997 Mazda 626 will not start after an alternator malfunction why?
Battery will be flat because spark plugs were running straight off your battery because the alternator was not charging your battery as you were driving. You can test this by jump starting your car with another car and after your car is running you should be able to disconnect your battery and car should still run off the alternator. If your car stops than your alternator is RS. Battery will be flat because spark plugs were running straight off your battery because the alternator was not charging your battery as you were driving.

How come your battery dies when you use your headlights?
because the battery is the source of the power for the headlights. there could be an issue with the battery or the alternator can be failing.
How can tell if the battery is bad or the alternator?
Take the battery to a parts store so they can test it.... Actually you need to test both the battery and the alternator because if your alternator is not functioning correctly it can drain the battery of power... so just testing the battery may only tell you that you have a drained battery and not reveal the cause... This testing can be done using an Auto meter which tests the battery and also does an alternator load test...If you do not have a tester you can rent one from an auto parts store,or you can remove the alternator and take it to the auto parts store and have it bench tested along with the battery...usually for free...

Check your alternator, that would be the main problem i think because the alternator charges your battery when in use, and with a bad alternator, means that your car is runnin soley off the battery and does not recharge the battery. Look into getting a new alternator. try testing the alternator at a local auto parts store, another test you could do is start the vehicle , and while it is running take off the battery cables, if motor turns off immediatly then your answer is that you have a bad alternator

What causes the alternator to whine when you turn on the lights?
Bearing failure. Have the alternator tested. describe the whine - is it proportional to the speed? It oculd be because of the load and the charging - how is your battery condition?
