When I bought my '88 the battery kept going dead after 2-3 days of non-use. Turns out it was the switch in the driver's door jamb that "tells" the car that the door has been opened (& then cuts power to the accessories). The plunger in the switch was sticking, so the accessories stayed "hot", which drained the battery.

A little WD-40 & a new boot over the plunger to replace the rotted-out one & my battery drain problem was fixed.

Good luck.
