Went to start my car yesterday and it wouldn't start. Got it jumped it worked fine. A few hours later started it again and radio went dead car went dead what could it be?

You could have blown the main fuse while doing the jump start. Also check the fusible link on the power battery cable.

I'm thinking its the battery. Heat kills batteries. You said it wont jump start. That's a dead ringer for a bad battery. It may have enough juice to power some things, but wont run the starter, or the fuel pump, or the ignition(spark). Try a new battery and let me know!

first you half to determine if the alternater is working. you do his by jumping the car and while its running take of the neg cable off to the car if it dies then you know the alternater is not working properly,
if it stays running you know you have a electricalen short you half to trace down

Hi, there will be diodes in the generator that are letting the power from the battery drain away through the parked times when not in use. to prove it charge the battery- then disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, connect 24 hours later and see if the battery as kept it charge, if so - fit new alternator, good luck.

Probably the battery. Take it the chain auto parts place and they will test it for you.

Battery is dead... get a volt meter, jump the car and with the car running on its own power check the voltage, anything less than 12v could point to an alternator but a new battery is a better place to start. put it to you this way if the car shuts off while driving, then its your alt, and if its fine wen drivin but wont start back up... its all battery

you might have a bad instrument cluster, when you try to start the van next time, try to bang on the dash on top of the speedometer, hope this helps

You need to Check out the Alternator.

If the car is dead, it should not make a sound, this is normal for dead things. Get a live one.
