Battery/starting problem
So occasionally my '90 C2 ended up with rather low battery charge and wouldn't start but I always assumed that I forgot a light on or something, because when I jump start it it would go without problems for months (I do drive the car it never sits for a long time.)
One evening, 40 minutes *after* a short drive without problems, the car didn't start. After a few attempts the battery died completely, and since jump starting didn't help I towed the car home.
Then, assuming the battery was bad, I got a new battery. The new battery got the engine cranking like crazy but in 5-6 attempts it still wouldn't start, so I gave up.
That was two days ago.
Tonight, after reading some related posts here, I decided to check the DME relay. And what did I find? The brand new battery that was happily cranking the engine two days ago is *completely* drained! In two days!
Someone please help!
Thanks,
Zajo
