Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Suzuki Vitara 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual

My car wouldn't start, I got jumped, it worked. Next morning, wouldn't start. Was jumped 3 times, every time I put it in gear to back up, it cut off. The dash lights up, but all of the juice is gone. Installed a new battery, it won't start. Could the battery be bad? Should I check the ground wire? Is it the alternator? Help! I am financially strapped more than anyone I know. I am a female with MS, and am 53 years old. Being a daddy's girl, I am not afraid to work on engines.

Thank Yoiu.
