Best to check your alternator to see if it's work properly. Any garage can test it. A bad alternator can drain a battery.

Why when i switched the lights on then car died

Check the output on the alternator.. your battery might be just about dead.. Alternator should put out 14.5 v or more with the engine running, The battery with the engine stopped should read 12V or better.. with the engine running the battery should read almost as much as the alternator output.

1990 cadillac fleetwood die when iddling and sputters at stops.

Sounds like you might have a weak fuel pump.You need to check your fuel pressure you didn't say which engine it has but if its a 5.7 you need 9-13 psi with the engine running.If its not within the specs then replace the fuel pump and filter.

Dilemma, Battery died in my 1998 s70 volvo, charged the battery, then disconnected the neg. cable while car was running and engine died. Is this a bad alternator?

Scan it from the OBDII System to find out for sure or remove the Alternator and have it tested at your local Auto Parts Store.

I need to know why my check gage light came on and now my battery gage is low and my truck won't stay idoled and it dies and will act like the battery is dead which will eventually kill my battery but then...

You need t have your charging system checked. Low voltage can affect the engines sensors that monitor engine performance. If the battery isn't being charged while you are driving, it will eventually be drained and the engine will die and yu will lose power steering and brakes. If this happens in traffic or at high speed, you could be in big trouble. Have your alternator checked or replaced. Wouldn't hurt to have the battery checked at the same time.
