My car died I got a jump and made it home. It cranked the one more time that night. The next morning everything went dead. I thought it was my battery so I got another one. Did not help so I thought it was the alternator got another put it in. The car cranked and I tried to drive it. It started jumping and then it died. I got a jump but no power had received into my car. So I got a bumper to bumper home. I made it home the battery works but my lights are dim and my radio does not work. Could this be the starter or all of the above? Battery, alternator, and starter.

have starter checked for drawing to many amps . bench testing does no good as it wont show it only a mechanic can test for that. also try a security reset or another key if no owners manual look online on how to do it.
