it happened last month.2 weeks after my battery keeps on discharging.i just noticed my map lights,door lights,compartment lights,almost all of my cabin lights and plate number lights are out.they all went dead at the same time.we checked the 2 fuse boxes which is on driver side and the battery side and they are all good and the bulbs are good.if i can't start my car for 2 or more days then the battery went dead.had it checked but they said that the battery and alternator are all good...i don't have any aftermarket parts yet.they are all stock.i also don't know if it had an accident or flood.i checked carfax before i bought it last year november and they said they're all good.what do you think is the problem with this?thank you!

Hey there and Welcome to NICO!
Going off the information you have initially provided, it sounds like you have a pretty serious electrical issue. I am thinking something is shorted causing a parasitic draw that is killing your battery.
Do you have any aftermarket electronics?
When did you first start noticing this? Was it all of a sudden?
Do you have any other issues?
When you say almost all of the lights do not work, which ones specifically.
Most of the lights in the G are controlled through the ipdm, so there could be a problem somewhere in that circuit. I am reluctant to give you any forwarding advice until we get a little more information, as we are trying to not make it worse, and evaluate the severity of you situation.

I agree with Steve. The description you've provided sounds like a short in the circuit somewhere.
Have you made any recent modifications-Audio/Video, GPS, Engine Management, Alarm System?
Or has the vehicle been in any sort of accidents- Flood, Collision...etc?
