Charge it
Sorry. I had a charging system issue and had replaced the battery and alternator and it still wasn't charging (the old alternator was tested at the store and tested fine). Turns out it was the fusible link wire between the starter and alternator. Weird how these beasties are wired.

Yes, that fusible link has been known about on this site for many years.

What year is your car? Not all have the link.
I hope you found out what made the fusible link blow.
