    when i turn my key all the dash lights light up normaly and when i go to turn the key it doesnt turn over at all and all the lights go dim and everything electronic is low on power. i let it sit for a day and it started but when i turned it off and tryed again it didnt turn over and did the same thing. do i need a new battery or are the connections bad? i just replaced the battery little over a year ago

    yeah if you can get it started , take a volt meter and check it at the battery , should be at least 14 volts or higher

    the alternator is good for sure, i can jump start it so im pretty sure its the battery, ill run a volt meter on it. but if it is the battery why would the battery die so fast?
