Hello everyone.
I got a small issue that maybe you all could help me out with? My fan relay blew last week, and my fans have been modified to run 24/7 when the keys are inserted. I bought a new relay, and it was supposed to be an authentic Toyota relay, but it was some cheap Taiwan knockoff, anyway it works though. The next day, my battery died while driving and would not hold a charge, so I replaced the battery that night. The next day after the battery was dead again when I went to start the car. Something is causing a large parasitic drain on the battery. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Maybe the fan relay because it's a cheap knockoff? Any help would be appreciated. Car is a 1995 JDM GT-FOUR. Thanks -------------------- 1995 JDM Toyota Celica GT-FOUR

Thanks for the tips guys, I will have to get a multimeter and test the fuses and relays. I really hope it's just the fan relay - if so I'll have to get a REAL Toyota relay. Got ripped on ebay (guy showed toyota relay and said it was a toyota relay - get a crap piece! haha) but I will have to see with the multimeter.
And richee3 - yes, It's a GT-FOUR in the states! I just picked it up a month ago. This post has been edited by deadxwreckoning: Apr 3, 2012 - 8:52 PM -------------------- 1995 JDM Toyota Celica GT-FOUR
