heres the story. the car was running perfect with no problem. I park the car for 4 days and go to start it and no power what so ever. I jump it and drive it for about 30 minutes. I shut it off and it won't start up. I go get a brand new battery. everything runs fine after that. I park it again for another 4 days and i go to start it and nothing, no power. I'm thinking the alternator is not charging the battery. I've changed the battery and changed the alternator and still nothing. I've checked all fuses and all is good. If i jump it, it starts. and runs fine. but when i hit the brakes all the lights flicker (head lights,dash, ect.). I drove it again after putting in another alternator and it won't start up after I shut it off. What other things should i check?

 

I don't think it's your alternator. Sounds like something's running you battery dead.

 

Sounds to me like there is a draw in your electrical system. Check all connections....

 

connection/terminals/wiring check? you have power but you arent getting enough to the starter somehow.

 

no alarm. i have a turbo timer though. not sure if that is the problem. could it be the radio? it's an aftermarket radio. and you guys are right. something is drawing power after i take the key out. because there will be a little bit of power left but when i come back it's all out. I'm at a lost right now.

 

sounds like my car 3months ago..change your starter

 

do you have an amp? make sure the remote wire(blue) is not keeping it on when the car is off.

 

how is the starter draining the battery?

No, amp. just a cd player.
