Power being drawn from negative battery terminal when car is off. I unplugged both terminals and recharged. Left the negative terminal lose so I could pull it off and prevent battery drainage. First before I charged it the battery would not produce sparks from jumper cables but radio and car charger were still live afterward worked for a day, then the next day it stopped working after I put both terminals on well it started to make a clicking noise from the ignition that would turn off when I turned the key(which produced no response aside from stopping tthe sound) then absolutely no connection to electricity. Cars got some wiring issues but I don't know specifics. I do know there's been a lot of repairs in the past year including transmission and general functionality of the features.
