Car started and ran okay. Then I went to the store. The car probably sat in the parking lot for a half hour. When I got back in and started it, it revved up to 2. (Which I know it doesn't normally do.) Everytime I braked the battery needle went down. I managed to not brake much on the way home. Also when I was braking it didn't stay at 0 but the needle moved towards 1. When I got home and braked in the parking space the check gauges light came on and the car died.

Any Ideas?

Need to have the car scanned and post the code.

Also what year make and Bonneville trim do you have?

Maybe update in your siggy so we can better help you

It'* not showing any codes at all. Oh, and BTW, it'* a car of one of my wife'* co-workers....I had to contact her to find out again what it was. It'* a 93 Olds Cutlass with a 3.1. For some reason I was thinking it was an Olds 88 3.8.

Well, not giving us much to go on here. From what you are saying it sounds like a short or grounding problem. Start checking the ground busses for corrosion.
