I have a 1992 Lexus LS400. Some electrical fault is causing a dead battery over and over. No warning lights have ever come on. Sometimes I can jump start it and drive for a while, but eventually I am unable to jump start the car. This has happened 3 or 4 times in the last 2 months.

My mechanic has checked everything. He says he can detect that there is a drain on the battery, but he can not find it. This has happened 3 or 4 times in the last 2 months.

Any suggestions?

Go to a different mechanic and if he too does not detect anything, then perhaps there is a bigger problem. If you have not been servicing your car more often, that could explain why the problem is persisting.

You will best handle it with a professional in any case. Is it hard finding spare parts of this model? All the best.

That is an old model of the Lexus. Why not let the professionals examine it and fix it for you?

There might be a slight problem with your charging system. A drain in the battery had better be fixed fast before it escalates to an even bigger situation.

It all boils down to how frequent you normally sevice your car and whether you take it to the right people.
