I replaced the battery last year and my car won't start. It starts with a jump but then after it sits awhile it doesn't start

JourneymanMaybe you need to have your alternator replaced. If ur alternator is failing your battery will keep draining over time. Also inspect the cables for corrosion.

RookieSounds like a failing alternator. You can actually pick one up fairly cheap at your local junk yard!!!! Good luck!
