Check circuit fuse. May be blown. If not take a rubber mallet a give fuel tank a medium smak in center while someone tries to start the car. If it momentarily starts then quits, the pump needs replaced. I was told this test trick by a mechanic.
If fuse is ok, could be a bad headlight switch
check the battery with voltmeter without the engine running then check with it running if voltage is higher it is working
only if the engine is running and the alternator is in perfect working condition!
The alternator is not working properly. Your car will still run off the battery for a little while then when the battery dies the car dies. Check the alternator or take it to autozone and they will check it for you.
With the engine not running you should read 12.6 volts on a fully charged battery. With the engine running you should read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery posts.
Check to see if the alternator is working Connect a voltmeter to battery: Without engine running reading should be about 12.8 With engine running reading should be 13.8-14.2 If not bad alternator
That would be short for "generator" light. If that light is on while the engine is running, the charging system is not working and you are running off of battery power only.
Alternator is no longer working properly.

Age of battery Battery will not hold a charge (check with a volt meter) A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts (without engine running) If charging system is working properly reading should increase to approx. 13.8-14.2 with engine running. If voltage does not increase with engine running could be a problem with charging system of battery is defective and will not take or hold a charge
means that your alternator is not working. It is either bad or your belt is not tight.
Sounds like the alternator isn't working at all. Have it checked. Good Luck!!
