Why would a Saturn have no power if it was running fine when you turned it off?
I had this problem with my 1998 SL2. After I shut it off, it would not start up again unless I jump started it. My clock would reset also. When it happened at a convenience store, a guy offered to jump it for me, then he looked and saw that the battery cables were loose. He tightened them and it hasn't happened again. I don't know if this helps or not. ?AnswerSame thing happened to me with my 1998 SC2. Hasnt happened since i tightened the cables. ?Answerthis happened to me about 5 months ago. I have a 95 Saturn sl2. The terminal cable, on back of battery, was not completely connected and needed an entirely new battery. ?Answercould be many things, a bad alternator, a bad battery, or even bad wiring, so if the the battery terminal is fine, have your battery checked, then the alternator and hope that it isn't bad wiring ?AnswerI had the Same Problem last week with my 94 SC1 Coupe. Check the battery with an ohmeter, then check that your wires are connected good. But it is probably your alternator. Dont bring it to a shop because they will charge you a rediculous amount to fix. Just jack the car up and put it on stands, take the right plastic shield off near the right front wheel so u can see your alternator, find the tensioner bolt and take the serpentine belt off, disconnect your battery, use a 14 mm wrench and take off the two bolts holding your alternator on, remove the sensor which clips on, and another wire which is held on by a bolt, i bought a rebuild kit from CND tire and rebuilt it myself for 50 bucks..... but if not u can buy a new one for around 150$ give or take.... then just slap it back in, bolt her on, hook the wires up, put the belt back on ... (WHICH IS ALOT HARDER THAN TAKING IT OFF) Then hook your battery back up and shes good to go....FYI: Next thing to go on your car will be your fuel pump... all Saturns folow the same road.... alternator first then fuel pump... :-(... good luck..!!

What is wrong with the battery if it wont stay charged with a new alternator on a Chrysler 5Th avenue?
Your alternator is probably rebuilt and not really new. I have had this problem several times and I have bought a new battery and alternator. The alternator keeps your battery charged and powers your electrical system, so even when driving you can lose all power in the car from the alternator draining your battery. Take the battery and alternator to an auto store and they will test both for free. Ask them about the difference in a rebuilt alternator and a brand new one. This is a very common problem.

My car died while driving last night so i replaced the battery. AutoZone tested the alternator and said it was working but it was draining my battery slightly...what could be causing this?
Don't believe a word AutoZone tells you. My battery died so I went there and they tested my battery and alternator and told me it was the battery. So I bought a new battery and 2 days later, dead again. Went back and they tested again and THIS time, it was the alternator. I went nuts on them and ended up getting both my battery AND alternator for free for their mistake that left me stranded at 12am.
What could be draining your battery on a 1993 ford probe gt its a new good battery and holds a charge and the alternator is good something seems to be drawing power when the engine is off?
It could be any number of things, from a faulty diode inside the alternator (the alternator could be working reasonably well but still have a bad diode) to a sticking relay. Sometimes those types of problems can be difficult to find, especially since they are often intermittent.
