850 starting problems cold weather 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be dave j on  Sat Nov 27 07:35 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi can anyone please help me we have an 850 that we have over the past three years had continual starting problems with.

Generally what happens is:
the temperature goes below freezing
notice charge in battery is reduced
often clicks but does not turnover
inevitably battery dies
often doors will lock unlock inexplicably

We have:
gone through 3 batteries
replaced alternator
nearly come to blows with our mechanic who suggests we continualluy are doing something wrong

But this continues to happen, help anyone have any ideas.
Thanks
