My 1998 Chrysler Cirrus keeps dying out. We would jump the car off but the battery light would continue to flash on and off signaling that there was something going on with the battery. We checked it out and found that the battery was no good and replaced it. Well after replacing it, the light came on again and after turning the car off the car died again and we have to keep jumping it to get it started. What could be draining a new battery. #!1 we had an ignition problem where as the key got stuck in the ignition, we got the key out but now when we drive it in order to pull the key out we can not turn the switch all the way to the off position, in other words we have to turn it once to pull the key out and leave it in that position. We're not sure if the car is all the way off. All of the lights on the dash goes off but not really sure if it all the way off or not. #2 We have a huge stereo system in it that could be draining the battery. We have had the stereo system and the problem with the ignition for a while now but the car has never died out but it does drag to start. My husband thinks that we don't have enough amps in the battery to handle such a huge stereo system, I think that it's something else because the battery should have been dying out long before now and it wasn't. What could be going on? Could it be a bad alternator? Please help?
