2002 Elantra - discovered the low beam headlights had burned out-filiments open. Replaced bulbs and 3 days later the car lost all power - stalled and wouldn't start. Used a volt meter across the battery... measured 11.70 VDC with no load. Used jump starter to start the car and battery measured 7VDC while running. Increasing the RPM and the volt meter showed no increase in voltage. Installed a fresh battery to drive to a service shop and noticed the new head lights no longer worked. Noticed the battery icon in dash no longer illuminated when key turned to ACC or ON. Suspect the alternater and voltage regulator is bad but what else might be damaged and/or do I have a short in the system?
