Default Help, need to get my daily going....

hey guys, so my 2007 s doesnt seem to want to start. this is the second time this has happened. I go to start my car normally it makes all the normal beeps, when i go to crank the engine all of my electricity cuts. Absolutely nothing. later that day thinking my battery was dead, i used some jumper cables to get it going. i drove it for 3 days with nothing wrong. Last night i go to turn on my car and again same thing......so i went to get my battery checked and it was good, i later find out that my horn works. none of the electricals work but the horn. i tried using jumper cables again, and nothing.

if anyone can help, id really appreciate it this is my daily and i need to get it going. Thanks!

first step would be to check terminal connections. pull them off and sand any rust or acid build up, then reinstall.

Try replacing the battery or getting it tested? Batteries do go out and it is around 6 years old most likely with the OEM battery lol

Do you have a multimeter? A quick way to check your your alternator is to check the voltage of the batter while the car is on and off. When the car is on the voltage should ideally hover around 14 V while off around 12 V.
