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.

OK bumping this old thread back...
After further inspection, i noticed that it had some sort of aftermarket LED mounted by the driver side-side vent. I pulled it off and followed the wire until I came across an after-market ALPINE alarm system. This thing was wired straight into the main power fuses. I cut all the wires attached and resolder them together. I guess we'll see how it works from now on but after leaving it a few hours it seems to be ok. Only problem is now my side blinkers are not working at all. I'll have to test and see what is affecting those wires. Anywyas might have pics up if i get a chance. But relieved for now! |
