Yaris battery dead? - Toyota Yaris Forums

First check the battery voltage. Second check the alternator. It happened to me in the parking lot. I park my car and try to lock the door with my remote. It wont work at all.
At first I thought was the fuse or the battery. After I pop the hood and check the fuse box. I notice none of the fuse is out. I call my wife and had her bring jump cable. It works when I jump start it. After I drove in a block and I can feel the car is going to die out. I was luck got enough time pull in to the gas station.

I jump start it again. It was start okay but once I pull the jump cable out the vehicle is out. I took the battery out and brought over to Autozone had them check. The battery is fine. At this time its gotta be the alternator. I purchase Autozone alternator and installed it in the parking lot. It took me 6 hours cold night in the parking lot. I had one of my friends over holding flash light for me.

Autozone alternator it works but the battery light stay on and off. I ending up purchase OEM alternator and solve the problem. The good thing is Autozone allow me return it and get full refund.

Good luck!
