[DML] Re: dead battery

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes stuff just goes bad. I'd suspect the alternator has failed 
again (you didn't mention the type you put in) but before pulling it 
out and taking to the parts store for a test, check the connections at 
the alternator, starter, battery, and the feed-through under the coil. 
Also check the right-side engine mount ground and the frame-to-body 
ground just above the starter on the frame. 

Does the alternator light illuminate with the key on/engine off? Does 
it illuminate with the engine running?
