That’s one
big short- to drain the battery that quickly. I think the car batteries are rated at 700 to 800 amp hours.
I would think you would see smoke. Dads 82 Lawrence R Noska lnoska@xxxxxxxxxxxx Hauser, ID 83854 -----Original

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. Jim
