I use the car for the day and the next morning the car struggles to crank or it’s completely dead. Already hooked up the voltmeter on the fuses and can’t find the cause on what’s causing the battery to die.

Hi,

Have you checked to see if the alternator is properly charging the battery? Also, has the battery been load tested? Are the battery terminals clean and tight?

Here are a few links to help with testing:

Let me know.

Take care,
Joe

Did you try checking if there is an electrical draw by placing a volt meter or multi meter at the battery? Take a look at this link and drop down to step 5.

Let me know.
