buy a new battery and/or alternator.

ummmm....... get it tested, or just replace it. If it's more than a few years old it's most likely dead. Mine sure as hell was.

Visago

charge the battery then take it to any autoparts store, they can test it, if it tests out ok , its prolly an alternator

If that battery has been dead that long , no matter what you do the battery, it will not charge. When a battery drops to 9V or less, and you don't re-charge immediately, the plates starts to corrode (somewhat like the white crap on the terminals but in a jell substance). You need a new battery.

Get a new battery.Are the terminals all dented up and corroded?
