My car's battery light and ABS light come on and then my car shuts off. I have changed the battery and the alternator, and it is still doing it.

Usually the engine stalls then these lights come on can you please confirm? It sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or the throttle body needs to be serviced. Let's go over these guides to get more information on the problem so we can fix it.

And we should run the codes as well.

No, the lights come on, and they go from being bright down to dim, my built in GPS shuts off, then my car shuts off.

Okay, it sounds like the alternator is not charging, let's run through this guide after jumping the car to get it going again.
