Ok, the thing is that my battery being drained by something. So, I jump wire start it, and it works, but then when I open the door and the automatic seat belt starts moving, the car stalls. Same when I disconected the seat belts, so they don't work, I jump started the car again and then I turned my light on and the same thing happened :confused: Maybe my ECU is bad or something? So, I'm really lost, and need to get it fixed before monday. Thanks for any help.
 
Kinda sounds like your alternator isn't putting out enough power to me. Drive it over (if you can) to an advance auto or auto zone. They will test it for free and tell you if it's making sufficient power or not. If they say that's not the problem let us know and we'll see what we can figure out.
 
Thanks a lot. That was alternator, but the car was acting so weird that I thought it was my ECU. So, yeah, I reaplaced my alternator, and it's all good :D Except that I stripped my whole interior in order to see all the possible wires, since I was thinking that it could have been a short somewhere. So, my interior is stripped except the dashboard that I put back, front seats and a door panels, as for the rest I'm not going to put it back. Maybe that weight I got rid off might help a little. Thanks again.
