check electrical connections make sure they're tight , check the alternator , it should be putting out at least 14 volts at the batt terminals , don't make a new alt. charge a weak batt. make sure it's charged

Cause now when we put the key in and turn it over the battery gage goes to straight to 8 volts like it’s a dead battery
