battery discharge on 09 camry ?

[toyotaoem09]

yes I have a problem with my car I did a search and I dint found anyone talking about the same problem.I got my car on july and I start having this problem last week my car die on a parking lot on wallmart and today it didntwant to turn on I check the battery and the eye was black I don't know but I was thinking if the HIDS had something to do please let me know if any one had experience the same problem thanks

I wouldnt think its the HIDs cause they draw lower power than halogen bulbs but i may be wrong

what exactly have you been doing, electrically?

have you been jamming in your car just running on the battery?


and when your driving your alternator is helping create power so it relieves stress from the battery so I would think its just a bad battery, try getting it under warranty?

[sex_&_TRD87]

i would think you will be able to get it under warranty

[toyotaoem09]

well that's what I was thinking and I havent done nothing electrically before this start and I dont let my car running on the battery so I was thinking on take the car to the dealer so they can check what is wrong but before I just want to make sure that I havent cause the problem

I think I can because it doesnt even have a year and is under the 8000 milles
so I hope they can fixit

well, how confident are you with the HIDs and the neon you installed? caues I mean theres a chance that one of those things got shorted to power so its constantly drawing power but then again, if thats the case, iono if the "HIDs" (just saying) would be on constantly, know what i mean? itll be "on at all times"

i am a noob when it comes down to electrical stuff but im not telling you anything that i dont believe thats true lol personally

[toyotaoem09]

well the hids yes they are on almost all the time but the the neons are led but my wife broke the front one so thats the only thing that maybe have something to do

well thanks Im a noob too but it helps when other people helps with opinions

[sex_&_TRD87]

the LEDs, i wouldnt worry about them cause they cant possibly drain a battery lol but it wouldnt hurt to check it out

and like i said, even if your HIDs are on all the time when your driving, your alternator is the one thats giving mostly the power not the battery


guess my suggestion is check out the LEDs and HID set up, make sure the rubber hose didnt get burnt somehow and welded itself to metal to where itll cause a shortage to either short to ground or short to power, if everything is fine then go to the dealer and get it replaced which im 90% sure itll be under warranty

I dbout its from the hids and neons. Go to the dealer and complain. Sounds like your battery is prematurely crapping out. Unless your leaving something out like you left the lights on or something

How many times has it died? Get it boosted, go for a nice drive and then report back to us tomorrow!

[toyotaoem09]

thanks guys it have died 2 times today was the last one but the think is that the car dont want to start and i wait for 10 or 15 minutes them I tried again and it turn on but yes I will takeit to the dealer and see what they found wrong thanks

[CamrySExxx]

Has it died while driving? if not, we could rule out the alternator.

So your saying it only dies when its left alone for a bit? but you said its like it doesnt want to start? but you wait 15mins and it starts? Did you boost it or all of a sudden it starts?

[sex_&_TRD87]

i think he didnt boost it from everything he said but iono.....

i think its just a dead battery but who knows...luckily he has a possibility of getting it under warranty

dealer should be able to just swap out your battery. That's what they did for me when i had my system, but of course i took out my wiring before i went in.
