1990 964 battery drain?
Greetings and hello fellow enthusiasts!
I've got a 1990 C2 that is pulling the juice from my battery overnight. The battery takes a charge fairly quickly and afterward has plenty of power. After a day or two the battery will be drained and will not have enough power to start the car. Any ides would be great. I just need to get a solid starting point. Thanks! |

Very common problem. These cars have lots of electrics and drains can come from the strangest places.
First is the car all original? Post factory alarms, cell phones, radar dectectors, radios, amps, GPS, etc if not wired correctly can cause major drain. Second is the battery good? You say it charges well then loses the charge could a cell have collapsed in it? Own a volt gauge?

Thanks Grady,
Turns out its the dome lights. They seem to be working correctly however, if I have them in the position to power on when the door is opened the battery drains. I now have them both in the off position and all is well. |
