PLEASE HELP----->
The other day car would not start, no power at all. I jump it off and go to the parts store to exchange a 6 month old battery. He tested the battery and said it was dead and no good, and lead me to believe the alternator was ok. I replaced it with a red top 75/35 optima. I put about 60 miles on the battery and all was well.
Today, same situation all over again. Car has absolutely no power what so ever, traction control logo was illuminated at that's it. It jumped off quickly and ran up the street and it started just fine. I have also noticed that hours after I turn off and lock the car the hazard button will continuously flash at a slow rate.
What do I do from here??
Seems like something is draining the batter when its off...

Re: Check for codes.
You've gotta check your charging system.If you don't know how to do this then just pay someone to do it - preferably a dealer.You may have a bad alternator or a ground or a system draw.
