BIG Problem

Postby harntabo » Fri Sep 17, 2010 1:01 pm

After 6 months with my lovely Lara SLE 2006 I have met a big problem: 4-5 times after parking the car for 2-3 days it´s totally out of cream - the battery is empty! Happened 2-3 times in the spring, no problems during 3 months of summer - and again today! :cry: Advice anyone???

Sorry if i didn´t find the right place to submit - edit, you fix it;-)

Buy a new battery and if the problem is still there, change your alternator.

Or take off you battery and go any autostore to test if the battery is still good (generally it's free).
If the battery is not good, change it. If it's still good, change your alternator.

Already replaced the battery since I bought the car 2010-03 with the comment "battery no good". It must be an intemittant "thief" in the system??? Alternator - I dont´think so. It`s been no problems "between te problems", no lack of cream in the battery day to day....

same thing happened to me...i have H.I.D lights and one of the relays was bad. every now and then my battery would die

i didnt know why until finally i checked relays and power would randomly go to the fogs....i think the relay got wet which caused it to go bad
