My first thought is, is it possible your alternator died? I'm thinking that it's not charging the battery, and I do believe it is possible for the battery to run for a couple of days with no charging.

 

There's a lot of things that could cause it besides the battery...alternator or grounding cable are two that come to mind from past experience.

 

jump it and go to a local parts store, leave car running, and ask them to check your charging system. If it's charging then you may have a short somewhere and I'd start with looking at any aftermarket wiring, lights/radio mods and such, then the Power Steering pump and radiator fan.

 

You could have tripped the battery cable cut-off.

 

Hmm-m-m-m. sounds like a power steering pump failure causing the battery to go dead. Do you hear anything still running after you turn the ignition off?

 

i found out what it was,it was a bad ground wire, i have no idea how it came loose but it was not the one attached to the battery terminal it was under the battery(somewhere down thier). how wired is that. ohh well now i know. thank you all

now all i have to do is fix my abs light.
