Earlier this week my alternator started going out on my car, so I went to Auto Zone and bought a refurbished one and a new belt. My cousin in law, who is a mechanic, installed the new one for me and soon as I tried to start it the next day, the battery was dead. I got a jump and took it to Auto Zone so they could check the battery and they said that it was still a good battery. The battery is new. They told me to drive it around so the alternator could recharge the battery, which I did for 3 hours. When I stopped at the car wash to wash my car, the car wouldn't start back up. The lights kept dimming everytime I tried to I tried to start it, and the needles on my dashboard kept jumping forward. I got a jump from 3 different people and the car still would not start. Soon as I take the cables off the battery it would die again. My cousin in law came out to where I was and found that the fuel pump was not working, and the alternator. Now my dashboard won't work at all. The speedometer, tachometer, even the milage won't come on when I put the key in the ignition. And the battery is completly dead. What is going on with this car?
