2013 Yaris LE was completely powerless... - Toyota Yaris Forums

mrdgzpm · 07-24-2016, 03:51 PM

I have a 2013 LE 4 door and today I got in to start it up and it was completely dead as far as power. No headlights, accessory lights, interior light, radio, nothing at all. While I was on the phone with AAA all power came on and was able to start like nothing ever happened. The battery (interstate) is 3 months old. Any thoughts?

Check that both battery terminals are tight almost sounds like the main fuse the 120 is going... Located on the positive side terminal, will show 120 and 60.

tight and clean. And, 91 Corollas had a plastic washer under the battery cable connector with a flange that stopped the pinch clamp from pinching enough. Bad idea that needed removed.

"Clean":To varying degrees, a non-conductive crust layer forms between battery terminal and connector. Needs sanded, scraped and/or wire brushed. (There's a little round tapered tool that brushes both sides of the joint.)
