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.

It doesn't sound like a battery but a parasitic drain. Do you have a dvom? If so you have to go through and pull every fuse while monitoring the amps being drawn until you isolate the problem. You could get a battery capacity test done but from what you have described you will be wasting money on a new battery.

SO test every slot in the fuse box and find one thats pulling current? I can test it with a multimeter and see how much volts its drawing or amps. if you say your battery and your alternator is good. something is drawing from it, do you have an amp that is running without a working remote? anything directly connected to the battery? I actually dont have any type of stereo hooked up, well i do have a deck wired in but the faceplate is removed and no speakers are wired. I guess ill remove it tomorrow and see the results. |
