[QUOTE="Settanta2, post: 279717, member: 4174"] Post #4 and #6 will give you a great start. Have you checked this stuff personally or are you relying on the shop? I would suggest to disconnect the clock- actually remove the wiring to the clock- as you said it does not work. This will eliminate a very likely culprit. Secondly, add a battery disconnect. This will prevent current draw when it’s not running. Have they checked the alternator output? If that’s insufficient, your battery will die- not from sitting, but from driving. I would assume any decent garage has confirmed the alternator output is good, but best to be sure. If you are committed to fixing a draw, I would find an automotive electrical specialist to look at it. Never know- there could be some short somewhere that is not obvious. These are pretty simple cars really, but with the age- there could be bad repairs or aftermarket parts that are causing problems. An electrical specialist will charge, but will find the issue pretty quick. [/QUOTE]
