Ok that is what happend yesterday ^^^

Well this morning (about 40minutes ago) I get in my car to leave and my battery is dead. I just replaced the terminals cuz they were corroded, they have a new, clean connection to the posts, and I don't have any subs or amps in my car now so the ONLY thing that would be drawing current would be my 9853 or interior lights but the only interior lights that come on are the floor lights but my doors were closed when I went to bed last night so they couldn't be on.

EDIT: Battery was tested and it's completely fine...about to go put it back in. Since the battery is fine and NOTHING worked this morning what do you all tihnk it wrong? Help please. I have to fix this today or tomorrow.

First thing I would check would be the water levels in the battery.

If your corrosion issue caused the battery to be completely discharged more than a few times there is the possibility you now have a dead cell in that battery. I've seen batteries more than a few times if they had a dead cell they were fine as long as the car was running and the alternator was charging. It would take a jump and kick off and everything just fine. As soon as you killed the car, however, there would never be enough juice in it to start the vehicle.

Check the water levels. If they're low, top 'em up. After that go have the battery checked.

If you've got no substage and your terminals are still corroding that badly I would be wondering if there's not a short to ground somewhere draining the battery while it sits.

My old battery was the one that caused the terminals to corrod and being me I didn't replace them when I got the new battery. But now I have new terminals and cleaned the posts.

I will check the levels when I get home. I don't see why they'd be low though cuz it's literally brand new.

So does your car start?... If not, and you say your battery is good, then your altenator has probably taken a shit on you.

Hold on let me go put it back in......

This is what happend this morning: Got in and my "security" light wasn't flashing (which it does when anything is open), none of the lights worked, nothing. IT worked last night though..I turned on my HU after the battery was put in.

If I were you I would take the alpine out and have a VERY close look at the wiring, make sure there isnt any shorts or loose connections.

Once I make sure my car is running fine again then I will...my power antenna is being ghey. If I power off the 9853 during driving the ant goes up and down lol...(burning motor) but once I turn off ignition it goes down completely and up completely when I start the car again
