Electrical problem? Ok so for about a week i have been trying to figure out what is wrong.
Took car out for one last run before i store it, very next day go to get car and drive to storage unit.
Car WONT start, also no dash lights, interior lights, ect.
Took battery to interstate battery they tested and kept it for 2 days.They said when i brought the battery in, it was showing 4 volts......Battery charged up and kept a charge they told me..NOTE:battery is not even a year old.
Drove the car to the storage unit, next day go to start it and same problem. Took my alternator to body shop tested and works as supposed to. Jumped my car, and it started fine....tried to start it again in 4 hours and nothing.
Could this be a electrical problem or something else.
Place i bought the car said its the battery that it might test fine but not work how it should, that vibration kills batteries?? (gave me a blank look on my face when i was told this
)

)Sounds like you need to test for a draw on the car....Google testing battery draws and you should find out how to do that if you don't know how.
If you can jump the car fine, it must be the battery.
