If the battery starts the car, is it dead?

Use your volt meter to check every connection in the charging circuit.

Put one lead on one side of the connection and the other lead on the other side of the connection with the car running. If you see a voltage reading, there is resistance in that connection. A digital volt meter is best.

Don't try to just measure resistance, it will not be the same as when there is current in the circuit.

Probably in the battery cable connections.
