i have a 91 talon and it has a new motor in it and the lights were pulsating and there was a squeel on statrup and one day my battery went dead. so i bought a new alternator and threw it on and i didnt have the pulsating any more and no squeeling. i drove it about 60 miles to work shut it off and then the car wouldnt start. it was dead. waited about 4 hours then i tried starting it again and it barely strted. bought a new batery and it did the same thing over again. what should i check next or how can i find out how to find out where my batery power is going?

Id be looking for a bad connection or a weak starter. I have a S10 that one time did that same ****. Ended up being a bad connection on the starter. As far as the car being able to run when the battery is unhooked, Im not sure. Good luck.

you might wanna check your connection from your battery to your starter maybe a soleniod or something probably not the starter but bad connections check for rust and corrosion and check your wires see if they need replacing
