Why won't my alternator not get power?

Asked by GuruBSRV Apr 10, 2017 at 04:25 PM about the 2006 Chevrolet Malibu LS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2006 Malibu MAXX. My car wouldn't start, got new battery still,
wouldn't start, installed new starter, fixed a wire that was burnt. Car starts but
drains the battery because the alternator isn't getting power. What's going
on?
