battery
What can cause a battery to be drained when no switches are in the
on
position? My GTV-6 appears to be draining the battery. No lights, radio,
fans
are on. Only the clock runs. This happened during a week of being
parked.
Then again over night with a different battery.

Waaal---I've got the same problem with my '74 Spider. GTV-6,
on the other
hand, can go for months without draining.
Cordially,

Drained battery
Rear view mirror light stuck in the on position? Something
is draining power
somewhere.
You might try the old tried and true
troubleshooting procedure, pull all the
fuses, then start adding them back one
by one. That should narrow the problem
down, at which point a wiring diagram
will probably help you solve it.

Drained battery
The best way to trouble shoot this issue is what Brian
suggests however the
process is speeded up by placing an amp meter between the
battery and the
disconnected battery ground lead. Start replacing the fuses
one by one
until you see a reading of over 100 milliamps on the amp meter.
Anything
over this amount will drain the battery. Then by looking at the
wiring
diagram you can determine what circuits are used by the fuse that is
drawing the power.
If your battery is over 5 years old it could simply be a
battery going bad.
Alternately you can leave a trickle charger on the battery
when parked.
