It sounds like the battery is not charging. There are three fuses that run the system that need to be checked. Fuse# 60 and Fuse A in the main fuse panel under the hood and fuse #13 in the fuse panel inside the car. Here is the charging system wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. This guide can help check the fuse and power at the fuse as well
