New Battery & Died In The Intersection HELP!

Hey guys, my Infiniti would die for no reason after turning it off so I took it to autozone and got it checked. They said I had a bad battery, but a good alternator.

I got a brand new battery last week and then this happens as I’m driving through an intersection.

Is it the alternator?

Any similar problems?

What does it do when you try to start the car in park or neutral?

Automatics can't be started in reverse or drive.

It doesn’t do anything. The lights just flicker. Doesn’t start.

But in the video, the car was running and then all the lights came on and froze it up. Couldn’t even turn off the car.

Jumped it 3 times and it wouldn’t stay started for longer than 1-2 minutes before dying again.

Just change out the battery again. Return the battery for a new one. See if that helps.

i had same issue when i didn't connect my radio properly and when I started the car it wouldn't start (except of fans and dash/lights), and when I disconnected the radio the car would start but I couldn't turn it off, only heard clicking sound. i think you have electrical gremlins.

Loose or defective battery cables?
You can get a digital readout for your alternator on Amazon

I think I will probably be needing a new starter since I don't plan on selling my car for a few years. How complicated is it to put in a starter on these cars. I believe the alternator is in a good position to be replaced.
