Hi,

So I tried to start my car yesterday (daily driver SC400) and it hardly had any juice in the battery and didn't start. When I got home, I gave it a jump start and it was working just fine then. I took it around the block a few times. I turned it off and it started back up without a problem at all. This morning, my battery seems to be dead again! I'm pretty sure it'll start if I jump the car but something seems to be draining the battery...What steps should I take to identify the issue? Where should I start? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

How old is your battery? Could be a bad ground, battery or alternator.

 

the battery is about 2years old. How can I determine a bad ground?

I'm pretty sure the alternator is good since the car runs flawlessly once on. I just changed it about 2 years ago (with the battery).

 

Do all your interior lights work? What kind of sound/if any is it making when you try to start it. Besides what was mentioned above, could be the starter.
