Was driving through snow yesterday....then my battery light came on......this usually comes on when going through a puddle of watter.....but this time it stayed on. Also the battery looses all the power really quick....say leave he light on for about 2 minuts the battery is then dead.
And if i leave the engine running it should charge the battery...but when you drive then and press the break the engine dies....nad you cant start up again.

Yeh. Reason I asked is because you said it comes on when driving through water, which makes me think that the belt is slack. May have finally come off.
