car keeps dying, i need help!!!
Heres the deal... my battery keeps getting drained so when I try to start my car I cant. I replaced the battery twice, replaced the alternator and it ran fine for a few days. Now it is doing it again. Could it be the starter, voltage regulator or cylinoid? Or could it be something else and what could it be?

If your alternator was recently replaced and is not defective and the battery is new and it still drains, you more than likely have a short somewhere in your wiring.
Be sure to check everything over on the alternator and make sure everything is hooked up correctly.

These cars have an underhood light with a tip up switch thats known for killing batteries. If yours is still there, disconnect it and see if thats whats killing the battery.

Make sure you didnt leave the trunk light switch on.
I know it sounds basic, but I've done it before.
