Has anyone experienceda parasitic bleed in a 1995 es300? if so how did you find the source and fix it. My problem seems to occur mainly when the temp dips lower than 32 or so and I do not start it every two days, sometimes one. The battery is good , as tested at the dealer. Any suggestions as to the probable source? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

At temperature below 30 degrees, any battery becomes weaker, that is why your symptoms grow more obvious.
Here is how you can check if you have parasitic draw - be sure to have as little turned on as possible, then disconnect the negative battery terminal, and connect an amperemeter between the negative side of the battery and your negative terminal. Let it sit for a second, since your amperage may jump up a little, but then it should drop close to zero. If not, start pulling all the fuses one-by-one until the value would drop. That would mean that the faulty system is now deactivated, and you will have to diagnose the system to which this fuse belongs.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

 

I certainly will try that approach
