Recently, when I was trying to start my car. The ABS & PWR STR light came on. And Previously I have had to jump my car several times. I replaced the battery since its been about 4 yrs from the original battery. Still having problems but usually I just need a jump and the car is fine. Do you think its electrical or maybe the alternator? Please get back to me ASAP. Thanks a bunch!

I would check that the connections to the battery make sure there clean and tight have the alternator checked u should always have that checked along with the battery. If all that checks out good have it checked for excessive parsitic draw. Also make sure no lights are being left on inside of the car like dome lamp map light make sure the trunk light isnt staying on with the trunk closed. Let me know what u find. Also have it scanned for codes all the codes engine steering etc. Let me know what u find.
