hey guys, today i was trying to go to work. i have had this car for one week so far & no problems till today. when i first got the car i had to replace the battery which is no biggie. however, when trying to start it today the car wouldnt wanna start. first time when i turned the key it almost turned over. the second time it didnt even try to turn over. could this be the starter or alternator not charging the battery? personally i think the battery has died out on me & the alternator hasnt been charging it correctly. anyone have an opinion on this? thanks

Load test the battery... if it reads good... check the fusiable link wires near the driver side strut tower. There's three of them... one controls the headlights, one controls getting your car started for SURE. And the other, ummmmm..... never looked into it. They crap out easy.
