Toyota Repair: battery wont hold charge, hood drain, battery works


Question
if i remove brackets that hold battery in position under the hood would that cause battery to ground out or loose charge...i have had battery pose replaced and new alternator.and still same thing ...I DID have audio sound a few months ago and removed amp and woofer in trunk ,would the audio fuse under hood drain battery even if amp and woofer are gone...

Answer
Is the battery not holding a charge or is it charging but then being discharged?

If the battery will not hold a charge then the problem is the battery.  You can have it tested to see if it will hold a charge or not.

If the battery works and something is putting a load on it, then you have to isolate the source.  Remove that audio fuse and ensure there are no wires grounding out the battery.  You may want to remove all loads and place them on one by one.

Hope this helps.
