My lancer wont start. The battery, alternator and starter was replaced since I thought it might have been these parts that was defective.I even took the car to an electrician as well as I ran a diagnostic on the car but found that there was no electrical problems with the car. Yesterday evening I used the car but the next afternoon when I tried to start it the alarm was unusually soft and the car could not even tumble.

It sounds like you have a weak battery or a connection issue. Check to confirm my beliefs by following this guide. You may have an electrical draw when the engine is turned off draining the battery.

Check the battery's connections and let me know.

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers
