"nothing works"

Does this mean nothing when you turn the key? Do you have lights in the car? Does the starter solenoid click? Does the starter turn but not start the car?

I'm guessing starter/solenoid IF your battery is actually charged and working and you have lights in the car but no clicking when you turn the key. If the car is killing new batteries once its started, then the alternator is bad (you should get a check charging system warning- is it a V8?) or something else is bleeding charge.

Check your connections on your starter, alternator and the juctions in the wheel well. If they are loose tighten them.

Wheel well juntion seen in pics in this post, it has a red cap on it:

before the car died it said charging system was ok and took to the dealer they said it could be because the advan trac sensor is un plugged but couldn't solve the problem would this drain a battery and the altenator been replaced in the last year could it be possible its bad again and the car starts when jumped but cuts off when cables are removed

Alternator, or the wiring going to it.
