Looks like you have a drain on your battery from one of the components in your car. It means that when your car is in "sleep" mode the battery is being drained by lights, or the radio, or something else. It could also be that the you need to change the wires that attach to the battery terminal. Bad wires could drain the battery of all of its power.

Just had shop install new battery in '13 Toyota Corolla; runs fine, but when I turn on the headlights, the audio LED screen goes blank. Adjusted LED settings to brightest, but made no difference. Dealership service desk has no clue. Bring it in, they said....again! Maybe a setting problem, fuse problem, who knows? But definitely was not doing this when I took it to the shop for a SIMPLE repair (new battery). Anyone else have a clue or suggestion? Appreciate any input. Thanks. 1 answer
