Make sure the connections between the charger and battery are solid and then try again in the morning (as you've mentioned). I won't be terribly surprised if we hear you're going battery shopping tommorow. If there is somewhere you can go to have it tested, this would certainly be a good last check before you spend the money.

Well just got the battery tested and the alt. everything is good. So now the car is sitting at home with the block heater plugged in and the ground on the battery removed. In a couple days I will go out, reconnect the battery and if it starts, it'* not the battery but if it doesn't then the battery looses a charge by itself.

it runs right now cause I had the charger on the battery all night. and I drove around the city all day with out a problem. I just have to wait a couple days and see if the battery just isn't holding a charge anymore.

Well I just plugged the battery back in, and low and behold the car started. So the battery is fine. So now I'm going to leave the car battery connected but I'm going to keep the alarm deactivated and see if it changes.

ya but i don't see what. My alarm I've had for a year. And the aero force gauge main plug is unplugged for over 2 weeks now and the alternate wire on it is connected to an axillary wire so the car has to be turned to the on position in order for power to be in it. Besides those I haven't done a single thing to my car, electrical anyhow.

Electronic devices can fail and cause problems, even if they have been fine in the past. To (potentially) eliminate the alarm as a cause, try pulling the fuse - not just leaving it deactivated. The Aeroforce seems to be the most recent addition. Even though it'* wired to the auxiliary power, this seems to be suspect (because of timing). Can you elaborate on exactly where you connected it (wire, colour, location, etc)?
