Ok...This past weekend while driving my car just died out of nowhere. Dash flickered then total lose of power and had to get a jump to restart. Went and bought a new battery as the auto store determine battery was dead. Same thing happens 2 days later. DEAD. So I recharge the new battery and have the alternator tested. Tested fine. Next day same thing. So i get a new alternator and battery...drives fine for the day. Wake up next day and its DEAD. It will jump start but dies minutes after I disconnect the cables. What could the problem be?? Sorry if Im a newb but this car is pissing me off now

 

Nobody? Nothing?

 

UPDATE....Soemtimes the alternator will charge the battery...sometimes it won't. Do you suspect a bad ground cable somewhere? How to test for it?

 

possible.. also check the positive terminal on the alternator.

 

Im thinking its the ground cable myself. When I had the old alternator tested it was deemed ok. But when i pulled the negative cable from the battery it would shut off. So i had it rpeplaced. But it does the same thing with the new one as well. I was told it maybe because of it being a Duralast alternator and not OEM? Im stumped and out several hundred dollars with no fix still. Would the CCM have anything to do with it? Any help is appreciated at this point. I love this car but its becoming a hassle now.
