"I had the battery charged up and this issue is happening again"
Could be the battery not holding a charge or alt. not charging.

First, with the battery charged, key in the accessory (II) position, car not started, is alt. light on? Should be on or wire loose. Check ground wire and thin red wire at alt. for proper connection.

If you have a volt meter, check voltage of bat, should be around 12V fully charged. Start car. Check voltage at bat. Should be about 14.5V.
If alt. light dim/on after starting then voltage reg. brushes need replacing.

Disconnect fully charged bat. and leave overnight. Hook up in morning. If flat then need new bat.
