you could also check the ground on the starter sometimes they will get really greasy and hence no ground-no charge or try the voltage regulator or the solenoid

Your volts light came on in your 1995 Chevrolet Lumina What is wrong?
You need to check your battery and alternator, to start with. If you're lucky it'll be something simple like those two. Sometimes you can get local auto parts stores to check them it for free. Typically that means that the alternator isn't charging. Many auto parts retailers will test the charging system at no cost. Their hope is that you'll buy the replacement parts from them. An automobile will run for a while after the alternator stops charging, but when an alternator is not replacing the electrical current the battery will eventually discharge and without recharging the battery SOMEHOW, with either a functioning alternator or an outside charger, the engine will eventually fail to start.
