2000 LHS electrical problem?
I just replaced my battery 2 weeks ago. Today the car began to stutter and lights dimming. It would not restart, dead battery.
I replaced the alternator, jumped it and it ran for about 3 minutes at a 3000 rmp before the ABS and Trac Cont lights came on, lights began to flicker, 1 minute later the battery light came on and it started to stutter again. I shut it off and now the battery is dead again.....?????? what now?

This is where you learn the wonders of troubleshooting. Why wouldn't you want to buy a volt meter for $5 and do some troubleshooting, instead of buying a new battery and a new alternator?
Why does figuring out what's wrong have to be the last activity? Half of life's problems require a volt meter to solve. So buy yourself one.
Sounds like you might want to buy a battery charger too.

Since you eliminated the battery and alternator, you should have the pcm (powertrain control module) tested. The pcm regulates alternator output. Could be a internal problem or the wiring between it and the alternator.

You need new battery cables. Check the cables where they hook onto the battery you will find that corrosion under the insulation has eaten the wiring in two.
