2004 Toyota Avalon

Asked by GuruCHRDS Feb 22, 2019 at 11:22 AM about the 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Replaced the alternator which was bad and draining the battery.  Now the
car lights flicker and the thing died again.  The front bumber was replace
after a fender bender.  The replacement fender for that year had two
configruations and the fog lights would not fit the fender I replaced so the
body man did not replace the lights, left the connections dangling. Ever
since, the car has had flickering lights and draining the battery.

Simple fix, check your wiring, wire brush the ground cable and power cable area connections put it back on, make it tight. Battery needs to be fully charged before starting it again. Check your alternator at a car parts store, it might be bad again.
