Mark,
Is your alternatorworking? Does the ammeter show a charge after you start
the engine? If the ammeter shows a steady discharge with the headlights on
and the engine running, you have a charging system problem. There are a
few other things that could cause the problem, but this is the first thing
to check.
Peace,
Pat
