Electrical Problem?

[modmonster2008]

Ok so ive been having this problem with my supra ever since i bought it. the car has a newer battery in it so i know its not bad. Well usually after 3-4 days the car doesnt start, as in no gauges or anything, even power door locks dont work, headlight motor goes up VERYYYY slowly. this is with the theft deterrent disarmed. i dont really lock the doors so it doesnt go on. im just curious as to why every 3 days or so the battery seems dead. if anyone would have an answer to that it would be helpful.

Have you checked your alternator?

Have you considered that you might have gotten a bad battery? What do you do to get the car started when this happens?

hmm, turns out my alternator fusible link was fried and split in half, is there a place where i can get a replacement one other than toyota or the junk?

You can use a wire 2 gauge sizes smaller then the wiring in the circuit, to replace a fusible link. It offers some protection until a new fusible link can be had. I do not recommend it for extended periods of time though.

I have never had any luck with part store fusible links, and get all of mine directly from the OEM.

hmm idk i would rather want a permanent repair because i dont want my car to not start when im 45 miles away from home at night lol. how do you remove the fusible link though? it seems mine is stuck on there pretty good.

Something seems kinda fishy about this. Why would this cause your battery to die in three days, but be fine when you would drive it lets say everydayÉÉÉ

Sounds like parestic draw from something.

lol well i need to fix the fusible link first. idk whats causing the low battery thing, its like when i start it after 3 days the voltage meter reads below 10 and the car cranks slowly. has anyone removed the fusible link tho?

I have removed the fuseable link .... You gotta take the fuse box off the engine bay , Push out the section of fuses , & then you will see 2 1Omm bolts . Uddo them & replace .... its fairly simple .... Good luck
