Happy New Year, gang
I just picked up my alleged 34,000-mile, one-owner, parked-since-1987, never-left-California 1971 LeBaron from the docks yesterday. It needs a lot of work but for starters, it's got some kind of electrical system demon that drains the battery almost immediately upon starting.
Previous owner installed new battery, new alternator, new electronic ignition but clearly that wasnt the problem. Driving it around the block just now, the lights started to fade and then went out altogether just as I pulled into the driveway. A couple minutes with the battery charger and she starts right up, but then the lights start to dim ...
Anyway, I have zero aptitude with electrical stuff, so Im handing it over to my professional. Any quick thoughts on what might be the culprit? Short someplace?
Aloha and many thanks.
