Not right away. When the alternator goes out, there's nothing on the car to generate
electric power, and everything electric in the car starts operating from what's stored in
the battery ... spark plugs, cigarette lighter, radio, brake lights, power windows, etc.
Once the battery is run down, since the alternator can't keep it charged, everything
electric begins to die, starting with the current hogs ... starter, headlights ... and moving
down to the low-power devices last ... interior lights and radio.
