It sounds like 2 different problems. The dead battery is most likely caused by a bad alternator or an "Ignition-Off Draw" (Something staying on after the ignition is turned off) The SRS light means that there is a problem with your Supplemental Restraint System. This could be caused by an airbag circuit or a seat belt pretensioner circuit. You will have to scan your Restraint System Module to find out why it has turned the light on.

How do i get my car running again it broke down i got a jump made it home and next day wont start no dash lights radio it doesnt do anything what is wrong ?

Give the battery a boost. If the car starts and stays running, chances are the alternator is ok. If the vehicle will not stay running, once boosted, there will be a charging system problem. Possible alternator. If the battery is more than 5 years old, it can also cause problems as the life expectancy of a battery is 5 yrs. Very doubtful you have a starter issue. I would bet on a battery or alternator/wiring issue

My truck is not charging i put brand new battery & alternator on it when i turn it of i need to boost it back up

You need to jump start it next day , is that what your trying to say ? When you turn it off you need to boost - jump start same thing when next day ? It's not your battery or alternator , you have a parasitic draw ! Something it draining your battery , a light is on a control module is not powering down ! You need to hook up a amp meter between the battery negative cable an post to see how much draw is happening ! Then you pull fuse's till the draw goes away ! parasitic draw test Bing Videos

Have a suzuki vitara 2004 with an electrical short problem, when I start the engine the dashboard light will go on and when I switch the headlights on they the dashlights will goes of. Checked the alt

you will have to disconnect 1 circuit at a time and find the problem, have many ideas at once, like 5 things changed at once, problem solved? 4 items were OK but you still don't know what the problem was. just 1 at a time

Just shut off the care returned 2 hours later no go got a boost went for a drive left the car running for awhile than it start to get like it was going to stall went on g=for a littlwe while than died....

Hi your problem sounds like the battery is gone and won`t take a charge. When your engine is running the alternator is supplying the electrical power to run the car ( and normally charging the
battery as well )
Even though it seems strange for the battery to go suddenly, it does happen.
How old is the bat. Most last about 5 years with normal driving ( batterys last longer if the car is used every day )
Anyway i hope i have been of some help to you.

CAR WON,T START, TILL I GET A BOOST .DASH BOARD SAY SRS

SRS is your safety restraint system for your airbags and so on. If your having to jump start your car I would look into the alternator or battery. It is normal for the srs light to come on when you first regain power. If it is staying on though you may be having an issue with the safety system.
