Question:
I have a 94 toyota camry, and if i put an alarm in it, will it waste the car battery and or the alternator. can i buy a better battery? or is it impossible. reason why is b/c my parents had an older mazda minivan and it had an alarm and apparently the alternator went out as well as the battery.

How much does it Cost to get break lights and blinker lights rewired?
I would think so. I had stereo equipment that would wear down my battery on my old 95' Tauras.I have some advice, too. If your car is a 94, I would start looking for a newer one. You are lucky, these days, if a car last over 10 years. I now drive a 2003 Tauras.
how can I get the bolts of my 2001 mitsubishi mirage mass airflow sensor?
it puts a small load on the battery, but nothing serious. but the alternator on a 12 year old car is going to die eventually anyway. i don't think the problem with your parents van was the alarm, i think its the fact that you drive 12 year old cars. believe it or not, things go wrong with cars.if you want a better battery, get an optima red top. should work a little better and still crank just fine in the cold.
Thier problem was with the alt. and battery, not related to the alarm system, they use so little power when activated, you wouldn't even notice it unless you had a weak battery to begin with. good luck
Why does my car chirp when I have the heater on?
I'm a retired subway mechanic. The current draw would be so low there should be no problem if wired unless on ALL the timewhat is rear ebs on a 97 grand prix?
The alternator went out cuz it was an " older mazda" and the battery cuz of the alternator. I leave my alarm on for weeks while I'm away working and never a problem with the battery. If your battery dies with an alarm it's probably time for a new batteryMore Questions & Answers ...
