wiring short drains battery
I recently bought an 87 supra and the battery is draining.
The electronics have become wacky, driver side brake light low, battery light indicator on, driverside rear lights not working right. LOTSA ELECTRONIC GREMLINS !! Any advice on where to start Any advice much appreciated !! |
The back of your fuse block corrodes pretty easily. Check that. Its a pain in the ass to get it out tho
|
alternator not charging?
|
and my brakelight does that too...its low on one side. I think it was made that way
|
my car is doing the exact same thing.......what i've been doing was taking hte pos. terminal off when its not running but its somehow being drained when the car is running just keeps dieing on me. any suggestinons cause i'm prolly just gunna take my car to toyota...once they tell me whats wrong i'll post it so keep an eye out.

my battery keeps dieing. i charged it and like two days later it died and right when i put on the jumper cables and try starting it, it started right away and was running 12v. could it be the battery or a short?????

It looks brand new. It might be a recycled battery.

alternator.
|
could that be it??????
|
i couldnt tell you. you have the car. figure it out!
|
If your car runs when you take the pos terminal off, The alternator is doing its job and working. Just get a new battery and try it out. Its a good idea to change your battery after a while anyway.
|
take the (+) off the battery and the car should run??
|
Well, it might not, but if it does, Your alternator is working. It was more directed at levi, saying when he takes his terminal off the battery wont die.
