try resetting security system then have battery tested including load test most places do for free. there is also a fusible link going to alternator that may have burnt out as well. see pic, however it may be a serial 2 data problem which a scanner needs to be hooked up. also it may be a draw on battery when car is off as well.

Thank you for your help, I did take it to my mechanic who confirmed it was the fusible link that blew it was a 200 amp fuse which are not very easy to just pick up at Store even after that the Fixx of that is still has the problems so I will go ahead and take your second advice and have the code read off the computer and will update you
