Why would your battery die as soon as you try to start the car?

Most likely a weak or dead battery. Replace and get your alternator tested. If you have a voltmeter check by placing both probes across the battery and you should have about 14 volts while running or 12.6 with no load, and engine off.

Do alternator your make the car start?
No, your battery supplies power to the starter. However if your alternator is defective then it will not supply power to the battery and the battery will soon be depleted.

If you are using it to turn on the car a good battery would help.

If your 93 Bonneville started last night and it fired right up but as soon as you turned on the lights the car died and will not start now what could this be?
When you say "it would not start", do you mean it will not crank(nothing happens when the key is turned)? or it will not start?( engine cranks but doesn't fire?) You need a new battery. I had the same problem with my 1989 Bonneville, It would start ou good but as soon as I pressed on the brakes, the car would turn off.

96 Bonneville wont start after turning the key driving it yesterday the car would start but when you turned it off the car would not start then tried it again and it did start now it will not start?
From your description I would say you could rule out the battery but not the alternator (the part that charges the battery) but it's most likely the starter
How do you get out of park when have a flat battery - automatic?
If your battery is dead then you are going nowhere therefore why would you need to take the car out of park? Get a jump start from another car with a good battery and then you can start your car and drive to the nearest battery dealer and buy a new battery if need be. Otherwise just put a battery charger on your battery and let it fully charge.
