08 lancer gts doesn’t start after a day

So my lancer doesn’t start after sitting for more than a day and half. When I go to start it cranks but doesn’t start but as soon as its jumped started it has no issues turning on and running. Also when I go away and say I leave it for 3 days, I come back to the car completely dead and require a jumpstart and locksmith to open. The car won’t react to the key in any way.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

I have recently replaced my battery thinking it was the problem and it wasn’t I guess

there was another GTS owner on here who had a similar issue. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/la...w-battery.html

To me it sounds like either:
1. The Battery is being drain by something overnight(maybe a light stuck on in the trunk or a goofy install on a stereo)
2. The Battery you put in was faulty meh(rare but it happens)
3. Your alternator is not working correctly anymore

Hope this helps

you were right about something draining. I’m at the shop right now and when off and everything closed it’s draining between 11.1-11.8

Thanks appreciate the help!
Sadly they removed every fuse one by one to see if it led to anything and nothing lowered the power down stayed at a constant 11.4-12.0 at all times
