I tested the alternator the day before and it tested at 14.4 and it's only a week old along with my battery so I know the alternator is good. I'm just hoping the battery is bad. It couldn't of been the alternator anyway because it doesn't run when the car is off.

Maybe it's the starter then. Have it checked. Does anyone know where it's located so I could try to atleast see where it's located. If I hear clicks again, I'll change mine too. For now my car is working perfectly fine, I know that's weird. It's starts up perfectly and has no problem in the mornings. Check the battery voltage when the car is off.
