Battery Problem or something else?

Asked by Laurie Jul 06, 2016 at 01:13 PM about the 2013 Toyota Corolla S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Sometimes my 2013 Corolla S won't start. It clicks as if it wants to start but
won't. I turn the key in the accessory position and let it sit for about a
minute and try to turn the engine again and it will start after a few times.
I've had the battery, alternator and starter tested and all came back fine.
My light has never gone on and my car has not died while driving. Could it
be a loose or bad cable?

That clicking you hear, is low battery drain. The positive cable to solenoid, the attaching nut is loose, take off the neg wire, tighten nut, clean battery terminals, apply die- electric grease to post, reconnect, start engine let ide 5 minutes. Done Have a great summer and thank for choosing carguru

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

Frustrated in Florida. Had dealership shop replace dead/dying battery. Now turning headlights on makes audio LED screen go blank. What the heck?
