#88590 welcome, LA ftw!

bout your problem sounds like your alternator either went bad or its going bad. check your alternator fuse if its blown if not then your alternator is bad.

#88696 your under hood fuse panel should have a diagram on its cap, it will tell you which fuse is the alt fuse, if it doesn't check you manual, if u have it.

#88700 Actually is under the dash fuse box but doubt its the fuse now. If that fuse was blown then a few other things wouldn't be functioning aswell.

So I think its your alternator bro.

EDIT: before replacing the alternator with a new one you should have an auto part store like autozone check it for you to see if its still works.
