I have bought a new alternator, battery, and starter last week and if I don't start my car everyday the battery is will be dead. I ran a diagnostic test and the code reads 12, which means battery disconnect? can anyone help me please?

sounds like ya have a short some wheres. take a voltmeter and check the coninuity bewtween the positive and negitve post to see if u have a short, if its reads 0 then make sure you dont have a trunk light or glove box light sticking on and killing the battery

I had the same problem. I replaced my battery and code 12 was present. So i took the bulb out of the trunk and found out that I had a dead fuse. The fuse panel is on drivers side on the left side of the steering wheel. You will need to open the driver door to access the panel.
