1996 ES300 starts and dies?

Nov 14, 2007 1 Replies

Hello,



I have a 1996 Lexus ES300 that is dead in a parking lot. The battery is completely dead... I can jump it with our other car and it starts and runs, but as soon as put it in gear I start driving the ABS light comes on and it dies shortly thereafter. Then it will not start unless I jump it again.



Is this a bad alternator? I wonder because it runs until I start driving, I would think with a bad alternator it would die even in Park.



Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
