alright this started a few days ago i jus installed reverse indiglos and boost gauge, all was well then all of a sudden it wont start no big deal i thought it was the battery and i went out and got a new one. well now whenever i press on the brake the sterio turns off and the lights dim and about two days later it dies again!! so i went to my mechanic and he says its more than likely its the alternator so i replace that but the problem with the sterio and the lights continue, then at night when the lights are on and i turn the car off everything turns off even the power doors wont work, and just a little bit ago i was rollin around and it died again!! i really got to get this fixed any ideas what it is??
thanks

Sounds like some thing is draining your battery. Disconnect your Idiglo and see if it resolves your proboem.

check your negative battery cable, same thing happened to me, except i didnt install any gauges. clean the cable with a terminal cleaner (wire brush kind of thing) and make sure everything is nice and sparkly silver and try again.
