Battery or Alternator?
 
Ok when I first got my car, the battery light would flash while I would drive, then shortly after my car just died while driving it. I replaced the battery and it has been fine for about 25 days....now it seems to be doing the same thing, battery light is on again and im afraid it will die soon.....is this something with the battery, alternator, or anything else? thanks

If I remember right the voltage regulator on th alternator is integral to the alternator. just replace th alternator after having it tested.

ah, I just saw you are talking about a Saab, so it may not be integral. I dont know.
