Yes! It does not even turns on the lights on dash. And the battery dies right away the only light that turns on are the long distance ones but I cant control them on the inside or turn off but it doesn't do anything else and when checked the bran new battery was already dead on 0% like never was good

Did you hook the battery terminals up correctly?

Most probably something is grounded or a problem with the electrical system. It would be rare for the alternator to be at fault at this time.

Like my battery died when I left my lights on and I jumped it then it completely died and I replaced it last month. It lasted 2 years. I have a dash cam hooked up but no issues. In your situation you got to figure out what you installed that's draining the battery so fast or is it the starter? Or is this just a made up story?

Can something go bad if I jumped with another car?

it doesn't trigger a code for electrical issue. check the wiring may be something is short causing the batteries to short and burn. I would say go to dealer and get it checked.

I won't risk it again as a short circuit might burn ECU and cause more damage which incurs more cost

I believe you had a dead battery and, at some point, the terminals were connected incorrectly when jumping it or during the new battery installation. I believe there's a main fuse (125 amps) that protects in between the battery and everything else. Pray that is the cause. Beyond an obvious blown fuse; you may need a diagnostic procedure by a mechanic.

if that fuse went bad can it cause damage on new batteries?

That sounds ridiculous. No battery should be lasting you a max of 3 months. There has to be an electrical pull or wiring problem that needs to be addressed.
