My radiator popped a while ago and when my car was about to get towed they had to jump start it to get it running. After I got it back, the battery indicator was flashing every now and then so I replaced my battery and it stopped flashing for a bit, but then ended up flashing more frequently than before. Come since yesterday its been constantly on and today while I was driving my radio stopped and all my lights went dimmer. Upon getting home the battery was askew....the plastic stand he set it on wasn't secure enough and the battery was tilted. Do you think this could just be the batt or is it probably the alternator?
Either way, the battery was just replaced and I should have them give me a fresh one now right? |

Were there hold downs on the battery? Sounds like an alternator to me, but if there wasn't a hold down, the terminal clamps could be moving around causing connection issues.
