I recently had a new battery and alternator put in my car. I cranked up fine for a week and now I have to jump it off in order for the car to work. I have had my battery replaced twice but that was not the problem. I noticed as long as it stays hot and does not cool completely off it will crank but if I cllos completely down it will not crank what could be the problem?

Have you checked to make sure the power from the alt is getting to the battery? Have you checked for an electrical draw when the engine is off?

Let me know and let me know if you need directions.
