Battery Being Drained ! Any Ideas ?

[johnnywishbone]

I have a 2002 Avensis and I have a problem where my Battery is being drained. I'm now on my second Battery in 2 months. I've taken the car to an Autospark and they can see the Battery is being drained very slowly but cannot find the component or system that is causing this problem. All the usual suspects were checked like interior lights, boot compartment light, Etc. but nothing was found !!! I was wondering if anyone else has come across this problem and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction as it is becoming a right royal pain in the backside when I can't start the car, usually at very inconvenient times !!! Cheers.

Most Battery drain problems seem to be alarm related. Don't know if that's the case in this instance, but it's a good place to start.

Good luck

well

Intresting

If they can see the drain, and cant find the fault

This will be a long diagnosis step.

be prepared to live with out your radio and other features of the car.

- pull out the fuses for the internal lights, radio

and any other non essential items.

leave the fuses out.

what does it do on a morning, start? test for drainage, Isolate the circuit.

fix it that wat

Cheers guys. It looks like i'm going to have to bite the bullet and go through the whole diagnosis process you've suggested.
