When you open a door, driver or passenger power to car is supposed to cut but if you just shut car off your supposed tob e able to use radio/windows. Well even if you open door, you can still use windows/radio. This may be cause for battery dieing, but what I don't understand is if your driving, (car is a manual) You can watch the voltage meter die, but if you are at say 3000rpm and you let the motor slow you down, seems the voltage jumps back up as long as your decelerating. I can't make any sense out of it but again I'm no mechanic. If someone wants to come fix it I'll pay you a fair price. I just need help.

Will it start putting out power if you plant the gas, also? Like, you're sitting there at 12 volts or whatever, you stomp the ags and ride it through at least an entire gear, and then it puts out power normally for a while at least? If so, thats a classic indicator of an alternator STARTING to go all shitty on you. Other than that, see above suggestions.
