We checked the lights and everything , but we cannot figure out why it keeps dying in the morning. Could it be the alarm system? Its also a new battery.

If you have a multimeter, you can measure the voltage on teh battery with the engine running. You should have 13.7 or close to that. If not, then there is a problem with the charging circuit either the alternator or the voltage regulator.
If you have the correct voltage with the engine running, then you can stop the engine and pull the positive lead off the battery and hook an ammeter in series with the battery and the cable. Now start pulling fuses and find the one that drops the current flow. That will be the circuit that is giving you the trouble. Get a wiring diagram from autozone's web site and trace out the things involved with the circuit. good luck. If this fails, then take the car to an auto electric repair shop and have it fixed.

it definitely could be the alarm system,it could also be corroded cables coming off of the battery, check to see if the cable is the same thickness for at least 2 feet from the battery,also if you have a remote starter for your car it could be that as well. to make sure its not your battery un hook the battery for the nite and hook it up in the morning when you get ready to leave. if your car doesn't start bad battery

You have a short or you have a wire grounding. Try dis- connecting the alarm overnight, if that is the cause, buy a new alarm system, if not the problem is elsewhere.
