Default wtf is wrong? car dies out of no where and then starts up again!

Long story short : i cruz...my car dies... "shows battery/oil sign"....put keys in...tries to start it...cranks...and no start. Leave it for 1 min or so...and then starts up again? AND then....same thing happens again 10 mins later...

I checked the altenator by starting up my car....and removing the positive + from the battery...and my car doesnt dies? so it couldnt be my altenator?

Or is it my batteries? lights are fine...EXCEPT my cluster light is a lot dimmer than usual...but wtf? my other lights are still fine...w/out the car on.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!

Either your battery or your alternator took a **** on you.

just try replacing your batt first... or check for voltage about 13 -14 volts... if u did not do anything to your car.. i doubt it is a ground.. battt first then go from there... same as a shop would do .. or go to a shop and have them do a charge and load test... it should be at 9volts on load.. lower than that
