Holy fuck, I can't believe I'm reading this.

Starter does nothing but start the car, period. Anything wrong with it would not effect anything else in the car. Not a thing.

Alternator powers the car and recharges the battery when the car is running. If it hasn't even started yet, the alternator isn't doing anything.

The battery powers the car before starting, powers the starter during start, and receives a charge from the alternator once the car is running.

This is all very, very basic automotive knowledge. So if you're having problems without even starting it, the battery or the battery's wiring is the culprit, not anything else. I'm amazed no one seems to know that. Suggesting that the starter or alternator is the problem is like saying a flat tire is caused by a radio that's too loud.
