What he said. Read my reply in post #16.

 

sounds like you have a dead battery

 

well it could be the cables under the top mount head. could be corroded i had the same problem and cleaned them off then put some battery protector on it now it has power everytime

 

does any1 know if the battery has to have a ground line connected somewhere?
i've heard dat ur suppose to have a ground for the battery.. is this true? if yes
how do i do this right?

 

Of course the battery needs a ground. The + cable from the battery splits and runs to the alternator, starter and main fuse box. The negative cable from the battery runs along the frame rail, grounds at the shock tower, and then grounds again at the starter.

Edit...I mentioned to check all the battery connections in post #7.

Have you tested the alternator yet?

 

i just got my battery back from kragens im gonna have it test it out today , unbolt the alternator and leave it over night c if battery still drains.

if the battery is good dat means my alternator is bad right? or i could just have a bad ground connection

 

voltage regulator?

 

check the connections on your battery as well, clean off any build-up off the terminals for a clean connection

 

If it's not the alternator you must have a short somewhere from the alternator to thr battery. You will have to troubleshoot. Good luck.

 

i got a new battery today coz the old one is unable to charge they told me it completely dead. so i put in the new battery and disconnected all the radio wires incase it drains any power and it turn over rit away with out any problem but i realized dat the interior light dont work anymore and door warning light keep on flashing when the car is moving dat is really akward

 

OK, now check the connections around the stereo then. You'll find a schematic in the FSM of the stock wires.

 

just bought a new battery and starter is fairly new also but it doesnt even crank

 

get some one to jump you again if you need to,but just get car started.once started disconnect battery entirely + & -,if the car does not die once battery is disconnected that is a good sign.know have a buddy of yours get in car while running and you take a volt meter put it on 20v dc, put the meter on battery cables accordingly once you have meter on positive and negative wires it should read 10-12volts idling,have your buddy give it gas then the meter should read voltage up and above 13v,and if voltage goes up and down with gas pedal your alternator most likely is good. if your engine dies when you unhook battery, alternators bad. hope that helps

 

Troubleshoot the starter as per instructions in the FSM. Please don't hijack other threads. You can post your own.
