I was driving and my gauges quit working then a minute later the car shut off and won't start back. The alternator and battery are brand new, and I've checked every fuse I could find, and none are blown. Idk what to do. Help!

Hi,

Based on how that happened, it sounds like the battery wasn't being charged. I realize both the alternator and battery are new, but I still recommend checking the battery.

Does anything electrical work on the vehicle? Do me a favor. Try this simple battery load test so I can confirm it isn't a weak battery.

Let me know. Also, let me know if you tried recharging the battery or jump-starting the vehicle.

Take care,

Joe
