Help My 2010 Toyota Corolla Is Having Undetectable Problem by dechriscool(m): 12:19am On May 30, 2021
I got this 2010 Nigeria used Toyota corolla a month ago.The car have been giving me series of starting problems that look like battery issue.I got a new battery a week ago and battery have being serving not until few days ago I packed the car for few hours and the car refused to start .I hired a battery to start the car today and drove the car to a garage. Where a scan was done and the scan found no electrical problem. After one hour thirty minutes of packing the car.I restarted the car successfully without any issue .Fast forward to driving the car home with the Dash board showing low fuel .The car suddenly stopped and refused to kick again
My worries is .Can empty fuel drain a battery or there is something I don't know about this car that is draining the battery .This startingI of the car issues have been re-occurring for the past 3 weeks .
Please I need help to solve this problem permanently

Check your alternator too.

Your car has parasitic drain, you can resolve it yourself,using a multimeter,remove the negative ground,link it to the red terminal of the meter then connect the the black terminal to the battery head,change your meter setting to milliamps, remove the fuses in your fuse box one after the other with vehicle parked and not on, you will see the culprit with its high amp reading and isolate it problem solved.

Someone did this for me and scan the car as well. He found nothing wrong

Electrician says the alternator is charging and not the problem.
Can empty fuel tank drain the battery ?

Check your kick starter.
I will do just that

Good morning, if the electrician checked for parasitic drain, he will detect the culprit. An appliance remains on in the car after switching off your ignition, a wire bridging, stuck relay.
Definitely parasitic drain test will resolve it.
I had same experience months ago on a 2012 Toyota Sienna,I posted it on NL, all comments were directed to parasitic drain test.
After buying battery 3 times, the issue was resolved.
Scanning will likely not point out anything,where is your location?
