While driving my car, a 2002 Saturn LS 200 the battery light came on the dash board, the radio cut out and the lights started flickering. I went home. About an hour later I tried to start my car, and it would not. The battery was not completely dead,but it was not charging. Any idea of what the problem is?

You could have a bad alternator have the battery charged and tested at the auto parts store.Also make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.Then start the car let it idle and take a multimeter and see what voltage is at the battery cable's.Let me know what you find.
