hi, my st is giving me problems. it acts like something is drainng the battery. I just rebuilt the starter with new contacts, so i dont think its that. sometimes it will go a day or two and be fine, then i will get ready to go somewhere and the battery will be very weak. i had a keyless entry installed right when all this started happening.... do you guys think that maybe its a wiring issue from the guy installing the keyless entry? thanks!

Didn't they do a drain test too? Most stores have something they can check for a drain with. What I would do first is to have the battery fully charged. Charging it from the alternator never restores a full charge. Also it could have been drained by the shop when they put it in. Maybe someone left a door open or something.
I know Advance Auto Parts has a tester that can test for a drain, I'd specifically ask for it to be done. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.
