I'd check the battery and cables first.

What year? How many miles? How old is the battery?

If the battery cable connections at the battery are corroded the battery will not get recharged by the system. You need to disconnect and carefully check them, I had a Chevy Monza that fooled me once. The connections looked fine from the outside. I disconnected, cleaned and reconnected and that solved my problem then. Hopefully yours may be as simple.

You should also check your battery's fluid level. If the caps on the top of the battery can be removed, (I don't care if it's supposed to be "maintenace free" I believe that to be an oxymoron, a ploy for battery companies to sell more batteries) carefully pry the covers off and fill any low cells up to the bottom of the tube at the opening with distilled water.

Last, check the ground cable connections, the negative battery cable and the cable on the alternator. Check the cables and check/clean the connections at each end.

Do you know what the single red wire with a 10 amp fuse goes to?Is it supposed to be connected?

 

[Kev]

I have no idea what that small red wire goes to. Sorry.
