MAYBE YOUR ALTERNATOR IS BAD. OR IT'S PATH TO THE BATTERY IS BROKEN

CHECK YOUR FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS/ LOOSE/ BROKEN CONNECTIONS

DO YOU HAVE A VOLTMETER AND CAN TEST DC VOLTS ---AT THE BATTERY (BOTH TIMES) CAR RUNNING AND CAR NOT RUNNING?

YOU SHOULD HAVE ABOUT 12.5 VOLTS (OR THEREABOUTS) NOT RUNNING, WITH A GOOD CHARGED BATTERY

13.5--15 VOLTS RUNNING

THIS TEST MAY VERIFY WHETHER THE ALTERNATOR IS ALTERNATING!

Have the alternator tested. If it is good, check the fusible link between the alt and the battery.
