Why does my Lincoln Town Car die and only uses up the charged battery ?

Source: Yahoo! Answers

it shuts off when it uses all the car's light, it's not charging the battery so it only uses the charge it has. It has a new battery and a new alternator....any idea?

  • Yeah, it isn't charging the battery. The new alternator should have solved that, but something is wrong.

Other Choices:

Few big American sedans can challenge the Lincoln Town Car's dominance in airport fleets, but the Chrysler 300 LWB offers a more sporting alternative, along with increased rear-seat legroom over the standard 300 sedan. The Cadillac DTS handles and performs better than the Town Car, and it's popular in the limousine and hearse industries.
