Imahe
One morning, I turn the ignition on and the engine crank very weak but it can manage to start the engine. So I think my battery get discharged for some reason so I drive the car to work, its one hour drive and enough to recharge my battery to full. However, after work, on the parking I turn the ignition on and like this morning the engine crank more weak but can manage to start my engine. Driving home, put my headlight on high beam and I found something not normal. It goes dim when I open the power window and goes to normal after the operation. Also both air condition system and the radio is operational, but with no valid reason, my radio goes off.

Nowadays, most car comes with anti-theft technology, and the least specs are car alarm. Usually, it bundled with keyless entry, so a disabled or not functioning car alarm system may also disable the keyless entry feature in your car. Last-night, my old 1998 Toyota Corolla alarm went off. I scan the corolla manual and I discovered that Toyota fuse might fried and its located on the steering wheel block.
