For some reason my celica always seems to drain my battery when I park it and dont use it overnight. After a jump it fires right up and have no further issues. What I have done when its completely dead I jump start it, drive it for like an hour and let the alternator charge the battery up. When I go to park it overnight, I remove the main 60A fuse in the engine bay and leave it like that. The next day It fires right up no problems, but if I leave the fuse in place next morning, starter just starts clikkkin, cant even crank the car. I have looked for something thats draining the power but cant find anything, I dont even have a stereo in place. Any help appreicated.

Thats exactly what I think it is, something is wired to constantly pull current from the battery. I got the battery charged and tested and it works fine. Left overnight, next day its dead. UGH!
Anyways jump started again drove it around and the battery is holding a charge. I remove the main 60AMP fuse, left it overnight. Put fuse back in, starts right up. I see an alarm siren in the engine bay so im going to try and find where it leads to or at least test it with a multimeter. Dont see any LEDs or anything like that, other than that security red LED. Guess im gonna have to get dirty tomorrow and try to find this mysterious power draw. |
