It shouldn't. When the engine is running, electricity is supplied by the alternator, not the battery. If the engine dies when the battery is disconnected, the battery and/or some related part (such as the voltage regulator) is bad.
Put Key in ignition and turn it a bit.
unplug your car battery
Its probably not the battery, its more than likely the alternator that isn't keeping the charge, to check it turn your car on and the unplug the battery, if it stays on then its something else, but if it turns off then get a new alternator
i never tried on that car but usually if u unplug the battery for awhile then reconnect it then it will turn off but again I've never had that car

I replaced it on my 2000 protege, and it was attached to the fuel pump inside the gas tank, and it is right under the back seat. if yours is the same, you will need to turn on the car unplug the pump relay that will turn off the car, unplug your battery, and start from there
yes
I would unplug the battery. This will reset your clock, etc., but it should turn the light off.
If it is battery operated, just take out the batteries. if it is plugged into the wall, unplug it.
just unplug the negative side of the battery.
Unplug the fuse labeled "fuel pump"
If your car doesnt start, it could be the battery. But if the car starts and you unplug the negative cable and the car turns off, its the alternator.
