My 4-runner was transported from AZ to NY and we believe the driver somehow disabled the security system and since the we have a battery drain every two to three days if it is not driven. WE replaced the battery but are still having the same results
Do you

Hi there,

You will need to get a current draw test done, this is where an Amp meter is placed between battery Pos (+) and the cable, with key off and doors closed this will show any excessive current draw, if above normal limits, (about.1=.15 Amps start pulling fuses to isolate the faulty circuit, also unhook the alt as a test as a faulty diode can also cause this, your mechanic should be able to do this test for you.
