What's the voltage reading at the battery with the engine running ? 13 to 14.1 volts ? If not, it's not charging .Sounds to me like it's not charging ! Is there battery voltage at the heavier gage wire on the back of the alternator ? Does the battery symbol light on the dash work ?

1989 Cadillac Deville Sedan. What would cause my alternator to not charge? I have new alternator and battery, but the alternator charges sometimes?

Question edited for clarity and remove non-existent word 'dint'.
Question moved to model category.

Intermittent faults are the hardest to diagnose. The only way is to find an auto electrician and his pro grade scan tool computer can record what is happening and what causes it? The first thing I would do is check all the grounds.

My 1998 Cadillac sts won't start even after getting a jump why?

Battery is completely dead. If you have a new battery then I would check your alternator, it may not be charging your battery.

Car won't stay running.

alternator does not hold a charge it simply charges the battery by unhooking the battery you are taking all voltage from computer and car will not run the proper way to test your alternator is use a multimeter and check voltage at battery while car is running if you have 13-14 volts it should be fine.
