My battery light was on when I started the car today, I drove it 25 miles and stopped. When I started my car the second time the brake light and the airbag light came on as well. I was able to continue driving for approximately 1 mile, then the car lost all powerr. I tried to start it again and it does not even turn over.
Check for broken alternator drive belt
if broken the battery will be flat
SOURCE: Car starts, drive a mile, stalls.
try haviing your alternator checked advance auto parts can check it while its on the car and the can check the battery too. if thats not it it may stall due to a loose battery connection or a loose ground strap. if it stalls and everything turns of (electrical) it may be a connection or ground strap.
SOURCE: Intermittently have to use charger to start.
the most common cause of this by far is lights left on by defective switchs, these include the map lights in the visors, the glove box light due to a defective switch, the trunk light and the hood light if equipped, check it at night and look for a faint glow, the other much less common cause is the alternator has a defective diode and allows a small current to pass to ground drawing the battery down..

Try cleaning the fuel pump filter. Under the seat behind the driver lift the carpet and you will find a round cover with six screws remove the cover. The fuel pump is directly below unscrew the retaining round plate and remove the pump. At the base of the pump is a small filter if it is covered in black muck that's your problem. clean and replace. job takes about 10 mins good luck. please let me know how you got on!

Sounds like it might be either the fuel filter or the fuel pump, cause if you ran the tank down, you probably had sludge in the bottom of the tank that you sucked into the engine, you can try using a fuel system cleaner, you may have sucked sludge into the injectors running it, Zmax sells a fuel system cleaner, or there is one called RUN RIGHT, I would try putting some of that in letting it sit a few min then after it sat a few to soak in and break down the sludge, then start the car up, kick your idle up to around 1500 RPM do not go higher then that cause you will damage the engine, try that and see if that works for you, if not then I is probably the fuel pump or filter.
hope this helps.

There is more than likely a short in the main plug for the alternator, if this is an aftermarket alternator it may also be at fault, some aftermarket alternator may have problem with the voltage regulator which will cause power to fluctuate and cause lights to come on and off. First check plugs on alternator for short and also check and make sure battery terminal are tighten properly. Good luck and contact if you need more help
