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.

Was actually my alternator. Changed it, runs well. Look if there's a leak from the positive cable of the battery. If there is, (wich is actually the problem here), unplug the positive cable from the alternator. Chek if there's still a leak from the battery. If not, it might be a short in your alternator, caused by some blown ''diodes'' (don't know if we call it this way in english) in the regulator, cause the alternator is plugged in parallele with the electrical circuit.
Might not be the problem, but at least try this test and you might be set for your alternator.. -------------------- -PHILI- ![]() |
