This is on the neighbor's car, 1988 245.

I've been trying to diagnose a continual battery drain. With a freshly charged battery, everything seems to work just fine. Coming back after letting the car sit over night, the battery is dead.

My first test was to check current through the fuses with the car switched off to see at least where the draw was coming from. There were several fuses that were hot with the car off, but only one (Fuse 8) had any draw. I unplugged that fuse and left the car to see if that was the cause, but sure enough, the next morning, the battery was dead again.

I'm not sure of the condition of the battery. The owner says it was replaced not too long ago.

What's the next step? I'm not sure where to proceed from here.

Thanks!
