lexus4490

I sold my 2009 armada and bought 2001 lx470 truck after reading about its reliability at #1.
it has 187k miles- no check engine lights etc.

drove home with it. next day morning it needed jump start- i did.
repeated same for 2 more days- then got new battery istalled at local pepboys.

next day same issue- went back to pepboys and they put another new battery.

today again same issue.- does any one know why battery draining?
would appreciate simple answer rather than- a long viewpoints and comments.

I'll try to keep it simple, sending you a link for more info might take too much time.

There's always a small current drain with the truck turned off to keep your audio and climate settings live, among other things. There should be no problems restarting normally after a month or 2.

You've got something else in the truck draining more than normal current...get it to a good indy shop and have them check for "parasitic drain above normal" and fix the issue.

Hope this is brief enough...

I think you'll enjoy your LX. I bought ours with 90K in 2009, it's been serviced regularly and so far we've only paid for normal wear and tear stuff and fluids.
