I have a 2000 Frontier 6 Cyl. with about 118,000 miles. I have recently been having battery problems, my car completely dies to the point where my power locks don't even work. When I try to start it, nothing comes on, nothing clicks, just completely dead. When I get it jumped off, it starts and runs for a few days to a week then it completely dies again. It seems like it completely dies right after I get done driving and I turn the car off and try to turn it back on again. I had this problem with my old battery, got a brand new battery and still have the same problem. Help!!!

Get the charging system check and the battery-you begining to make think you have a short somewhere in the electrical system.

Do you have a multimeter preferably the digital one. I can teach you how to troubleshoot it.

Don't have a multimeter, but will pick one up. I would love to diagnose the problem before having to get it towed and have it in the shop all week. It died today and won't even start when jumped anymore.
