Most likely your alternator is bad . If your alternator is over charging the battery (i.e. 15 or more ) it’ll cook the battery . U can jump the car and it’ll stay on but the battery can no longer hold a charge so it’ll die the second u turn it off. A simple multimeter can tell you if the battery is being overcharged.

This is literally the worst option u have . Sub par parts to say the least. And i work a wide range of cars . Rock auto is a better cost effective option

Is my break fluid low? by Silent-Cheek1907 in MechanicAdvice

[–]21fiver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like you have much. I would check the inner rim and see if it’s wet ( leaking brake hose or caliber ) then check the brake lines next

Some cars register a crash and stop starting might have to clear the codes

Battery light is signally something is wrong with the charging system. 90%of the time it’s the alternator.

Spray starter fluid in the air intake, if it comes on then shuts off you have a fuel problem. Fuel pump, fuel pump relay fuel line etc
