Hello,
This sounds like you could have a problem with your vehicle's alternator. The alternator is what charges your vehicle's battery when it is running. Without your vehicle's alternator working properly, the battery will quickly be drained and your vehicle will die. In the diagrams down below I have included the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part number, a wiring diagram of your vehicle's charging system, and the instructions for the removal and installation of the alternator for your vehicle. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.
Thanks,
Alex
