lexus94es

so 2 days ago my car dies at the gas station and i manage to get a jump and goto the store and buy an alternator and on the way back the car dies again so i replaced the alternator on the side of the street, yesterday car ran fine all day no problems , this morning i turn on car and while driving down the street , my car starts losing power the radio turns off and the car shuts down but when i step on the brake pedal it turns back on ( this whole time im crusing down a hill ) when i hit the gas it dies again and when i hit the brakes it turns on again until it finally just dies in the middle of the road.

I just installed a new alternator and the guy i bought the car from 2 months ago says the battery is brand new , i also got a jump from my friend and still nothing no lights came on anywhere, not on the dash or nothing, it seems like im not getting anypower whatsoever to the car, i cant even get the car to turn over, i know my neutral saftey switch needs to be adjusted but that wouldnt explain the complete loss of power to the car any ideas? relays? fuses? help!

Get the battery checked regardless of what the PO has said. Also how are your battery terminals.

I had the exact same behavior on my '94 a month ago. It turned out to be a loose battery terminal clamp. Even though it appeared to be tight, one clamp was stretched out. I purchased a replacement factory terminal clamp for $10. Part# 90982-06022

A lot of times, it ends up being something so simple, like this^^

Same thing happened to me, all it needed was a new terminal. They're cheap, I'd go with the "Non-corrosive" terminals.
