Default civic pooed itself this morning (electrical)

------- car is breaking left and right. now its an electrical issue.

so a couple questions.

would a bad main relay drain a battery? maybe in conjunction with a bad alternator?

because my car wont start on its own, and when its jumped it wont stay running on its own.

after i jump it and it dies again, my turbo timer goes on and the main relay starts clicking like an epileptic african.

so what do you guys think?

im going to get the alternator checked today after work. but should i replace the relay as well?

alternator, then take the main relay out and check for corrosion on it. mine was pretty bad till i fixed it. also, check your grounds and main power cables. mine were like corroded like the titanic on the bottom of the ocean......

ok, bad alternator.

i think that the lack of a charge just wouldnt hold the relay open and thats why it was clicking.

now i just need to find time to swap it out.
