no gauges work, windshield wipers do not work, lights do not work, I know I should get the whole chargin system checked but I am not sure if I should drive it or tow it. Will I make it worse. It is a simple basic s10 with no bells and whistles. We had a kia van that seized last year and we figure the alternator went and everything else fried with it.

I towed my truck and had a new alternator installed.
