1995 -850....Sorry I didn't continue the old thread...couldn't find it.
So, the battery is draining...must be charged each startup. I pulled the + terminal off the battery and put my multimeter in series to complete the circuit. Now, I know nothing about electricity...just doing what was suggested to try to locate the drain. The meter read 18.7 (what ever that means...and it would fluctuate up and down from 18.6-19.00). I pulled every fuse. When I pulled #10, the central locking circuit, the meter dropped to 8.5. Did it again to verify. Does this mean that somehow the Central locking system is draining the battery? Or did I do nothing in the hunt for this problem.
If it is the Central Locking System...what now? Remember, be gentle, I am not volt savvy.
