Q: What could it be
Yesterday while I was driving , my battery light random popped on for the first time. Ok not a big deal I'll get another battery. I get to my destination then I cut my car off. I try to leave and my car has no lights or anything, windows can't go up nothing. I eventually get a jump and I crack my car and it still wouldn't turn over. It cracks now but revs up then dies again .
My car has 158600 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
