Car starting trouble
 
So my car decided not to turn on today. It only crack and lights showed up on the dash. I had to recharge the battery and then it worked. Now, this happend to me like couple weeks ago and I ended up replacing the battery. At first, i thought it was me playin with the headlight but I didn't even mess around too much I was only trying to open the bulb cover but didn't success. But now it just didn't turn on.

When i took it to the body shop 2 weeks ago, the dude had problems turning on the car and ever since I got it, it worked fine till now. But he was mentioning that something was draining my battery, he thought it was my speakers or alarm but I don't see why.

Someone know what's going on or have a clue at least?

Well, you either have a bad battery or you have a parasitic battery drain. Read this thread https://maxima.org/forums/5th-genera...ed-2-days.html to find out what your problem is.

probably a parasitic drain. disconnect battery negative, let it sit for 20 minutes for the PCM to go to sleep, hook a incandescent bulb test light between the disconnected negative cable and the negative battery terminal. if you have a drain, the test light will be bright. pull your fuses one by one, whatever one you pull that makes the test light go dim thats what circuit the drain is on. so for example if you pull the radio fuse and the light goes dim, something on the radio circuit is causing a drain
