    car dying!!!

    ok here is my problem. first off in the morning the car starts shity. but this is the thing. my car in the past when i bought it started to die out on me alot. sometimes ill be driving it just fine ill get out the car to maybe go in the store and when i get back in to turn it on it wont start and would have to jump it. if i was to leave the door open for not even 5minutes it will die. if i play the music without the car on for a couple minutes it will die.something is clearer wrong that its not staying charged and just not throwing the power it should or something. ok so i went ahead and bought ..

    Bought New Battery (energizer) (buying an optima this weekend)
    New Alternator.
    New Ground Wire
    New Ebay Ground wire Kit
    New Stabilizer
    New NGK spark plugs
    New Spark Plug Wires

    and now.. still starts up shity in the morning but my main thing is. i took my car to the shop to get a oil leak problem fixed. and he didnt turn it on for about 2 days and when he went to try and turn it on it was completely dead. he had to jump it and it turned on. can someone please tell me what the problem can be???


    other problems.. (dont know if these problems can be related to the main problem so thats why am just posting these problems also)
    *headlight diming (dimes when i press on the window button)
    *SHITY START UP!!
    *when you put the key in the igition and the car is off sometimes that noise that it does (bing dong,ding dong) to remind you that the lights or the key is still in. well that does it once in a blue moon
    *whipper wont go the low most of the time. i would have to put them all the way to high then to low to get them to work.
    *now light on dash dime when my beats are on (have a cap for my beats and they never use to dime before until i started having problems with the car dieing)
    *Fans (radiator) staying on (3-12 minutes after i turn the car off)

    i really really need help on these badly. please help!!

    Sounds like a connection problem, check the wires connecting the alternator to the battery. On my car the wire burnt and eventually stopped the charge of the battey while running. Once the car started dieing the wipers woul dbarely move, the lights would dim, clock on the inside would dim, windows go up and down really slow...all that crap. That was my problem though. That key beeping thing happens to me once in awhile to (on both cars :S) I just close the door again, stick the key in and turn it more towards you pull the key out open the door and the beeping should stop...might take a bit to get it though.

    The fans coming on oince the car is off is normal if it thinks the engine needs to be cooled off. Shouldn't stay on any longer than 15min. after the car is off.

    Another thing that happened to me was the cooling fan would come on in the middle of the night then stay on and drain the battery dead. This might be the problem too.

    But, makes no sense the battery isn't being charged, check that wire as I said before. Right where is connects to the alternator is wher emy problem was. Hopefully I helped a bit.

        Hey, I was wondering if you had found out the problem, because guess what? My car started doing it lol. It runs perfet when it's running, I'll drive for a bit, but the next morning the battery is dead. I don't think the problem is as sever as yours, but I'm sure it'll get there lol. Anyways, if you've found anything out, let me know

        Also, I called my mechanic to book a safety for the car so I can get the thing on the road lol, so he's going to check that, I'll let ya know what he finds if I don't hear form ya
