I wasn’t aware that it was the brake lights causing the battery drain until I replaced the battery. Luckily, it was due for a new battery anyways.

Battery was old so I replaced it, but the culprit is either the brake pedal switch or the little plastic pad under the brake pedal. The brake lights remain on when the vehicle is off. I’ve ordered the part, so until it comes in, I’ve just been disconnecting the battery.

Not that I can tell, but our evening was busy and I haven’t had a chance to look and see what’s going on.

I’ve figured out the issue while finding another. I replaced the battery (it was from ‘21, so probably needed it) and made sure all dome lights and everything were off.

I just read that and found the fix. Hoping the dead battery was just a power draw and a one time deal, because everything sounds and runs fine at this point.

I tried your remedy. Pulled the fuse, and jumped the battery and it started right up. Weird thing is the radio and new sub both worked. The only thing I noticed was the antenna only extended about five inches upon start up. I did not function check anything else, so I’m not sure if it was just...

I recently purchased an ‘04 lx470 with 45k miles. Flew 1100 miles away and drove it home. Everything ran great except for a blown sub. I read through the forums and purchased a Dayton for a replacement. Process seemed super easy. I uninstalled the old sub and wired the new one. I did a test...
