Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / December 2006I NEED HELPPP!!!
Alright I have a 1989 toyota supra turbo automatic and i accidently left the lights on for a while and it killed the battery, so we got out the jumper cables, hooked them up and the batter got juice and all the lights and switches eventually worked but when i turned the key the starter didnt click... a few hrs later, the started started to click but the door alarm wasnt sounding when the door was open... so when i started the car you could hear the starter clicking but it wasnt turning over? and ideas why?

You hooked the cables up properly, right? How old is the battery? it may be time for a replacement. When battery is totally drained by leaving the lights on, you'll need to charge the battery with a battery charger. Simply trying to jump-start the car wont do and you can't expect the alternator to fully charge a drained battery. >> Alright I have a 1989 toyota supra turbo automatic and i accidently >> left the lights on for a while and it killed the battery, so we got [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > How old is the battery? it may be time for a replacement.

For a mere $125, payable in cash, I will take this thing off his hands! ;) Hachiroku ハチロク wrote: > On Tue, 05 Dec 2006 04:25:19 +0000, n8dogg wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > How old is the battery? it may be time for a replacement. > Alright I have a 1989 toyota supra turbo automatic and i accidently > left the lights on for a while and it killed the battery, so we got [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > when i started the car you could hear the starter clicking but it > wasnt turning over? and ideas why? It sounds like the battery is dead. If it is over 5 years old, get a new one. SignatureRay O (correct punctuation to reply) > It sounds like the battery is dead.

Give it a 12-24hr charge with an old-school battery charger (not hte smart ones as they often assume theres no battery there if its THAT dead). If that doesnt revive it (it will likely still be knackered and bearly hold charge) its deader than a dead thing. Batteries are fairly cheap and you'll wonder why you spent time messing with it when you get a new one! |
