Battery drain on 1984 toyota tercel wagon 2wd even after replacing alternator and battery? Checked all the fuses, battery cables, still draining battery? I don't know whats making it just run on my battery and it gets drained after I drive it.
it gets drained after I drive it.
sounds like the alternator isn't charging the battery properly.
Either the alternator, or the connections, are bad.
Checked with voltmeter via fuse box under the hood looks like this new alternator is not charging the battery
put your MM probes on the alt itself. Then probe your charging cables.
If you don't have any aftermarket radio or alarm on it then first check to make sure the new alternator you put on it is good and doesn't have issues. Then if not check the wiring.
Considering it's a 1984 car, and assuming all parts under the hood are in good shape, maybe it could be from an aftermarket alarm or radio, or any other gadget?
Had new alternator tested, replaced fuses, voltage regulator, battery, and its still not charging my battery?????
Do Scotty's parasitic drain test. You'll find the circuit that's pulling your battery down.
its still not charging my battery?????
Did you test your cables like I suggested a week ago?
