starters good the car will start only with jump cables all fuses are good the battery is in the trunk but ive had it like that for months with no prob. the main relay works. my problem is that without a jump from another car the car is completly dead the only thing that happens is wen u put the key in it beeps but wen u turn it everything is completely dead.

How do you know the battery is good? You said that when you get a boost everything works fine, which points to a bad battery.
