Disconnect the negative cable and connect (insert) an ammeter between the battery and the battery cable. Remove the fuses one by one and see which causes the current draw to drop.

Disconnect the cable from the alternator and see if that stops the draw. If it does, the alternator may be defective. Otherwise there may be something else drawing current.

Why wont your battery light go off when you changed your alternator and battery in your 99 mercury cougar?

Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)

Why does automatic car stop running when battery is disconnected?

Why are you disconnecting the battery with the engine running? Never mind, you've probably already figured this out by now, but there's a good chance your alternator is fried and your spark plugs are running on battery power. Get your alternator checked out. New ones aren't that expensive (approx. $50) and can be changed by anyone handy with tools.

I just changed the battery in my car and put the battery cables on backwards now the battery won't charge I tried a different battery and still wont work. Could I have damaged the alternator?

when you reverse connect a battery there is a good chance you will blow the main fuse this will protect the car from more damage but usually stops the battery for been charged as well... check and change the main fuse or fuseable link The alternator probably already was bad before you put the battery in.
