Car Help!

Hey Guys,

Recently I was pulling out of my driveway and noticed my ABS light was on. I cut off my car and let it sit for a second thinking maybe that would do... something. As a matter of fact, it did do something. My car wouldn't start again. After getting it jumped ( I assumed battery problem or starter ) I let it run a second, but the second I turned on the headlights it died. I was able to back it out without headlights and into a safe place, but Im guessing my alternator is dead (and no one to fix it till Tuesday #$*) anyhow.. my question is does my assumption of an alternater sound correct.

When I tried to start it without the jump it goes CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK really quick.

Thanks!

Yep. I had my alternater go on me a couple years ago, pain in the ass. But really nothing you can do to get around it besides just replacing it.
