your battery or the terminals on the battery posts are not tight. It could also be the battery itself that's dying.if your driving does it go off

with the car off get a voltage meter and test the battery should be form 12 to 12.5 volts, then to test for faulty alternator do the same again with car turn on should be between 13 to 14.6 volts

Had this problem with clarkytrd's glanza a while back. Check the fuses under the bonnet. Think it was a 5Amp that had blown and left light on constant.

Check the earths maybe?? Sounds strange but have seen bad earth connections cause similar faults.

Is there any sign of corosion on the earths? Recommend unbolting each one and cleaning down the connector and the surface on the body with some light sandpaper.

hi mate 1st check if your alternator is charging your battery can be check using a volt meter should be above 13V to 14.5V not exceeding 14.5V if so its over charging. If its charging well then charge your battery make sure its fully charged.

that would sugest to me a loose connection or a possible break a wire.. as its jiggling about its gaining and loosing connection.. or shorting on something due to movement whilst moving

yes you are right it might be the battery terminal not tighten properly or the bolts on alternator or the ground please check all wires from battery cable to the alternator and ground also.
