Scotty, big fan of your YouTube show. I have an 05 volvo s40i 2.4 FWD with 130,000 miles. It is an automatic used car i bought privately and it does not show a check engine light or pull any codes. It will not start or even turn over. It is completely dead. The locks and trunk are all electric and not will open. Thankfully the drivers door had a manual key. I just tested the old battery and turned out it was bad. I bought and installed a new one the previos night. The next morning same thing. It didn't turn over but it stayed off for the duration. I also want to add I check to make sure there was nothing electric that could be running on. It was cold but not cold enough to kill a battery. Where should I start to look for the problem and what tools am I going to need for this? Also before this was a problem I could turn on my radio, it would sometimes put volume to the speakers and others it would not. Also I went through and bought brand new headlights, highs and lows and only the drivers low comes on.

Well since it started with your new battery obviously something is draining the battery do my video fixing battery drain on your car Scotty
