Sorry if this has been posted before - if it has, I can't find it.
I have an '05 MDX with about 150K miles. Was having starting issues and determined the alternator was dead after putting in a new battery. I replaced the alternator with a new one from Autozone and dropped in another new battery to ensure all was good. For a couple weeks while driving the electrical light (looks like a battery) kept coming on intermittently. I knew there had to be something going on as I know that means the battery isn't staying charged. I've been good at running it every day but just yesterday was the first day I didn't turn the ignition and of course today it now won't start. My connections are tight, I haven't checked any fuses yet and no, no interior or exterior lights have been left on to drain the battery. Do I have a bad (new) alternator / battery / or is there something else? Not sure what I'm missing. Any insight is much appreciated.
Thanks!
