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

how old is the battery?

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

alternator.

tone loc 09-12-2006 03:39 AM

could that be it??????

burton51m 09-13-2006 12:13 AM

i couldnt tell you. you have the car. figure it out!

Isphius 09-15-2006 03:53 AM

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??

Isphius 09-15-2006 04:55 AM

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.
