Dead Vechicle, Car Has No Power Options

[MrD]

One day I was driving down the street and my car shuts off I get out look under the hood move the battery to the left and the car gets power again.The next day I try to leave home and the car shuts completely off again and this time when I turned one the radio it shut off faster. I have tried to replace the battery but still no go the Lights wont come on the car acts as if it has no battery at all. People tell me it could be the Alternator but its kind of wierd that it wouldnt even let the door lights come on. Ive checked all the fuses and everything looks good. So what do I do Please help (Cars been Rusting For 2 months now)

These cars aren't too new to the point that the battery disconnect test won't work. After all, they are 12+years old, depending on the year.I know for a fact that the battery disconnect test works on these cars. At least on the 7a. My alt went bad last summer, car died (no motor, no radio, no lights.. nothing) in the middle of the road. I got it to roll to the side and sat for a sec, gave it one last try and it started. Made it to a restaurant and it died again; had my friend jump it, disconnect battery-car dies. Jump it again to get home and take off alt. Had the alt rebuilt and put back on, started it and let it run for a few min to charge battery. Disconnect battery after that and it keeps running; although longest ive disconnected is around 20-30 sec, but still enough to know that the alt is strong enough to keep it running.

Since your stereo, lights, etc. still all work, I would definitely look into it grounding out somewhere. For some reason this scenario is making me think more of a bad ground somewhere, not likely at the battery either. My brother has an old fox-body that grounds out somewhere. You can be driving it and suddenly die because it vibrates a wire and makes it ground out against the body somewhere- haven't found where yet-which kills the engine.
