    Have a certified car electrician check your car internal electrical wirings to be sure.

    for your battery problem of self discharging, all batteries decay in charge over time. but if the discharge rate is accelerated, you might want to check the battery top (top post type battery) and see if is wet and dirty. if it is, the electrolyte is seeping to the top and is soaked in the dirt making a galvanic connection between the positive and negative battery posts. you can verify this by connecting a voltmeter between the battery top and either battery post. if it reads voltage, it is slowly using your charge up a little bit at a time. parasitic drains does not sleep until the battery is dead. if the battery top is clean and dry, there could be an excessive parasitic drain from loads like the electronic tuned radio, engine computer, electric clock, body control memory, engine computer keep alive memory and the list goes on. have a competent electrician check the parasitic load. it should not be more than 30 millivolts

    madaming factors yan sis.... pwedeng dahil 01 model na sentra mo yung grounding system eh hindi na maganda or loose na yung negative ground sa body, and or may grounded sa electrical system mo... pwede din alternator mo ang sira or may loose connection lang sa alternator.. or even the battery cables are loose or dirty...

    if he's not your trusted repair guy, just hope he doesn't rip you off when he finds out you know nothing on those technicalities. one tip, get a warranty for the work done and check or ask the parts that he replaced...
