Sc400 is not charging properly!
So right before the winter, I had a random electrical issue that would lead the car to draw a lot of power from somewhere, but it would go away after i turn of the car and turn it back on. I figured it was a faulty alternator because my power steering pump was leaking aswell.
Well, I finally replaced my ps pump with a new high-pressure line and new 145amp alternator and battery (all at once) and I figured this solved my problem.... well it did, for about 35-40mins, and then the car would slowly lose electrical power again. I got a new charge cable, new battery ground cable, and the ps pump is not leaking anywhere. My alternator 150amp fuse is good
Before I parked it away, the battery use to completely drain after 2-3 days
I just want to enjoy my 1uz
ANY help would be greatly appreciated

Alternator is bad. Had a similar problem with mine. Check the alternator and it would test fine but drive it and toast. The regulator likes to go on these. Get a replacement and all it a day.

Thats what I initally thought. So I bought a brand new alternator when I bought the ps pump. And had my old one rebuilt. That didn't work so I got my old one rebuilt, and also doesnt work.
Is there a module or something other than the 150amp fuse, that tells the alternator to charge or not?
