Re: A death? Yes. A revival? Perhaps. (GTIvr6GUY7)

Listen to what these people have been saying!!!!!!!!!
Get a damn battery. You can only charge the battery so many times. If you fail to do this, you will be buyiung an alternator as well. You car is an amazing machine, it knows that the battery charge is low so it will let the alternator bump up the output a little more than what is would normally be at. Which is not good for it.

A faulty alternator is most likely the culprit. All of the systems that sound like they were affected are electrically controlled and sensetive to voltage fluxuations. I had an auto in my Saturn, when my alt went out on that, the trans would not shift out of 3rd, had to put it in low to be able to get it home. That would be the first thing that I would check(belts maybe?). hope it works out.

I agree
