Default HELP! Electrical gurus please help!

Ok my friends car keeps dying. He just replaced his battery 2 weeks ago and now the car has problems starting after sitting for 14+ hrs. On top of that he turbo timer doesn't count down anymore. We so had him check his wiring over to see if that was the problem, he did and the problem was still there. The battery is brand new and the car is still having problems starting as if something is draining the battery. so i don't know where to look now except the starter,alternator,main relay,or alarm. Any help will be appreciated! thanks in advance!

Does it crank?
Is there spark?
Does the fuel pump prime?
Do your lights work?
If you charge your battery does the car THEN start?

All these are important questions and things we need to know.

Be more detailed.

And check for 12V at the main alt cable. But DIMI is right, we do need those questions answered to narrow down the possabilities...
