The battery light on my dashboard came on the other day before work. When I accelerated, the battery light turned off. When I used my brake, the light came back on the dashboard. When I was driving home from work, all electricity shut off. Lights, dashboard everything, but the engine was still running? I tried to turn on my car today and this is what happened...

Sounds sorta like a weak battery from here.

Get someone with jumper cables and jump start it off of another car.

Or charge up and test the battery.

"Good" and "fully charged" are two different things.
A battery can be weak or dead and still be considered good once it is recharged.


Car started and ran with a jump start. That proved the battery was at least too weak to crank the starter.

Car died shortly after starting:
It sounds like your alternator is not supplying enough electricity to recharge the battery and keep the engine running.

Alternator may be bad/weak/loose belt/something-- that is keeping it from operating to full charging potential.
So the alternator needs some checking.

Battery probably will still be good after a full recharge.

Newer cars have lots of electronics that HATE not having expected voltages.

Repair/replace battery/alternator before you do any damage.
