Electrical problems...please help!

[flowerhut]

My 2003 Toyota WISH had been jumped started for twice within 2 weeks. The battery went dead in a few days. Have 3 mechanics checked it out but could not trace the problems. The battery, alternator and the charging system are perfectly ok.The mechanics suggested that there might be some faulty electrical system in the car that draw the current when the car is not in use. Oh! really frustrated...

Anyone has any suggestion? Or is it possible to recommend any good electricians in Penang/Ipoh area?

there are only two possible, Battery or Alternator problems, new car like wish if comes to the problem like that, really no more words..........if the battery already end up lifespan, no matter how u charge it, the current will flow away too. If ur alternator gone, ur head light when turn on will become dimmer and dimmer......GOOD LUCK.

Several mechanics checked and nothing wrong with battery or alternator or even engine etc. The problems has to be with the electrical curcuit somewhere. It is quite new but out of warranty adi. That`s why I am worried.

Please give contructive advice or recommendation of any electricians. Million thanks in advance...

bateri...simply check with multimeter...voltage must be more then 12V as you all know...

alternator...simply unplug the bateri cable...negetive side...if engine dies...it's the alternator giving the problem..

the tricky part is to check any power leakage...shortage on power supply cable n so on...

the most simple yet some ppl don't know it...is their battery connector was loosen...heeee...did happened, a friend called, can't start...no kick nothin, no sound at all...ask him to knock the bettery connect...walll...can start it ...

Yeah I agree with bro chinozie, electrical troubleshooting is tracky and need proffesional skills. That`s why I will be most appreciate if anyone could recommend a good auto eletrician??? Sending back to Toyota is my last option.

The problem looks really complicated huh?
