Thanks!

TURN ON YOUR TOYOTA, OPEN THE HOOD AND TAKE OFF ANY CABLE, THE ENGINE SHOULD ACCELERATE A LITTLE, (THIS MEANS YOUR ALTERNATOR IS CHARGING IT). IF IT TURNS OFF WHEN YOU TOOK OFF THE CABLE, GET ANOTHER NEW ALTERNATOR. NOW IF ENGINE DOES ACCELERATE, AND DOESN'T TURN OFF, START DISCONNECTING ANY CABLE WHENEVER U GO TO SLEEP UNTIL YOU GET THAT SHORT FIXED. IT MIGHT BE DRAINING YOUR BATTERY WHEN IT'S OFF.
