strange electrical problem

[MCCs WS6]

i got an 01 ws6.. i just replaced the starter last week.. i went to drive for the first time today.. started the car up.. it ran fine but i turned the headlights on.. the lights popped up and the car died.. tried to start with lights on and wouldnt start.. turn them off and it starts..if i turn on the fog lights the passenger side is dim and blinks when i turn on the turn signal.. anyone have any idea what could be goin on.. please help.. thanx

did you hook da wires up right? sounds like your alternator is crappin out and not supporting the accesories like it should and taking the battery with it

yeah.. of course i hooked the wires up right.. could it be the alternator??

if you can take it by a autozone, advance........ have them test the battery/alternator

This more thena bad alt, there is something messed up in the wiring. Regarding the fog lights, does it physicly bink or just dim in time to the flashes. If one side is dim and the other isn't that tells me there is possiblity of a bad a ground and the fact that the car wont start with the head lights on again tells of some messed up wiring.

Double check all the wiring. How long have you had the car? Was it fine before the starter replace ment? The more info the better.

ive had the car for a couple of years..just has happened since i replaced starter.. the passenger side lights are dim with fog lights.. the fog lights blink with the turn signals ..

i wonder if i pinched some wires when i replaced the starter.. ive got no blown fuses

That would be a good start if the fogs blink and everything in the passenger side is funny, yea something got damaged.
