Default Could this be something other than CPS or RCM?

Hi all!

I just ordered a Crank Shaft Position Sensor, and in the middle of re-soldering my Relay Control Module.

While I was on the road my car died, and would not turn on. So immediately I thought it was the crank shaft position sensor but I just replaced mine this year.. So I thought otherwise, leading me to get a new battery that did not solve the problem...

It seems like my battery just gets drained.. And the lights that come on are "BAS/ESP", "ABS", "Battery", and the red "Air bag" looking icon..

Before my car died all these lights came on...

So the question I have is, do you guys think it's the alternator? Or something other than the RCM or CPS that's draining the battery?

I can get my car to turn on and idle for 3 minutes before the engine starts shaking and the electrical stops working.

Always appreciate the advice guys,

Best Regards,
