Ok here is the update. I tried starting my car, without charging the battery or anything. Nothing happened, not even alternator clicking. I then jumpstarted the car and removed the jumper cables. After a few minutes, I disconnected the positive terminal of the battery. The car stayed on running. I noticed that the lights, gauges, and even engine noise flickered every so often. I let it run for about 20 minutes. THen I turned off the car, reconnected the positive lead and tried restarting. This time, the gauges, and alarm responded, lighting up and chirping respectively. It also sounded like the alternator was clicking when I was trying to start the car. The car never did reach ignition, so I am baffled as to what the problem may be. If it was the alternator, thought the car would shut off after disconnecting the positive terminal, but it ran fine, except for the flickering. What do you guys think?
