so about a week back i noticed my battery light on, and my amps runnin low.

i checked and replaced my battery and connection because one was really corroded - my battery light is still on

i go to fire it up,it doesnt start up, so i jump it. i let it run for about 5 minutes and my interior lights start to dim and eventually dies.

i jump it again - same results.

what's wrong? [Confused]

any input is greatly appreciated

change anything out recently like a alternator or mess with any electrical?

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.
