The battery terminal was loose on my car. I went to work stopped to get a sandwich at subway, started the car back up and the battery/alternator light came on but car started back up with no problems other than the light coming on. Went to school, came out after end of day and the car wouldn't turn on. It clicked as if the battery was dead. I popped the hood and the battery terminal on one side was completely corroded. A man from the school put the new terminal which was a different on the wires put he never securely attached the terminal, so I got a jump and it still didn't stay on it just kept cutting off.
