you either have an electric short somewhere so check all ur wires to make sure none of them are frayed, nicked or showing bare copper also check to make sure everything has a good connection. another thing is it could be that you have a bad solenoid and need it replaced

Can my car start with a recharged battery if my alternator is bad?
Yes, the battery starts the engine, and as long as the battery is fully charged the engine will start. The battery will loose it's charge if the alternator is defective and not replenishing the charge of the battery but the alternator has nothing to do with starting the engine.
What causes a car not to start or turn over or click or nothing?
This could be the voltage regulator. Both the positive from the battery and the starter would be connected to it.

On a 2000 ford focus what would cause the car not to start it wont even turn over when you turn the key nothing happens not even a clicking noise just a loud buzzing sound?
The loud buzzing noise you hear from under the hood when you turn the key to start the vehicle usually means the battery is too low to crank the engine or a loose cable. Some auto parts stores will test the battery free of charge.

You either have a loose/corroded battery cable or a weak battery.

Could a bad coil keep the alternator from charging the battery?
Yes, because a bad coil will not allow the engine to run. But if the engine is running then the coil has nothing to do with the alternator charging the battery.
If Alternator dash light burned out will it prevent the alternator from charging?
no, the light has nothing to do with the alternator working properly, the light is only to warn you that it isn't charging the battery properly.

When you take the battery out nothing really happens. I tried it myself and it did nothing.
Will an alternator put out power if not hooked up to a battery and y?
No, the battery is part of it's circuit. In fact nothing in the car will work without the battery.
Would a bad alternator cause a car to die while driving?
If the alternator fails, it is no longer keeping the battery charged and your engine is running on nothing but battery power. Once the battery runs down, your engine will no longer run.
What happens when you throw a battery away?
Nothing good.
Should your car start right after changing the alternator?
If the battery is fully charged and the starter is working properly it will turn over and start. The alternators sole purpose is to supply voltage to the vehicle and battery when the engine is running. When the engine is not running the alternator has nothing to do with starting the engine. If the alternator went bad and the battery was discharged then you will have to charge the battery before it will be able to start the engine. Do not jump start the engine with a dead battery if you can avoid it. This puts a strain on the alternator trying to recharge a dead battery and can damage the alternator, even a new one.
