My car had no electricity at all...No lights, no response to the key, nothing. Then a few minutes later, it responds and the battery seemed powerful. A day later. The car loses all electricity again and it won't respond. I should mention that the car had been sitting for at least 8 hours in both situations. So where should I look? It has about 30k miles and was in a rear end accident a month ago. Thanks ahead of time...

    Ensure the connections at the battery are clean, tight and secure. You may want to have the battery charged and tested for piece of mind. If the battery and connections test OK, you may need to start testing the main fuse links at the battery or engine compartment fuse box and check that the ignition switch electrical portion is OK.
