My 'new' 06 Sienna CE had been sitting unused for about 5 days - prior to that it was driven about 4 miles - after sitting idle for 5 days (In sunny LA, CA). This morning the battery was totally dead - no lights anywhere. Putting a 12 volt tester on the battery barely produced a glow. Put a charger on and lights started working. The rear door will not open. Guess there is no over-ride?
The vehicle was purchased 5-2006. The battery date is 4-29-06.
I intend to charge it for about 4 hours at 6 amp and see what works.
Questions: Have or will the electronics be goofed up - so far? What if anything will happen when/ if I install a new battery.
Any warranty on any of this? The vehicle is less than two years old.
Is this perhaps a case of not driving it enough? In that case will a charge not cure the ills? Any electronic problems created so far?
Just getting out the owner's manual. Thanks m
