Re: Help Finding a Short on my '83 944

aaah, delet the "h" at the end, you meant 100mA - that's a tenth of an amp,
which is high - if you have a radio, remove it and measure again, the clock
doesn't draw that much current. My guess is a defective radio or defective
alarm (if you have an after market alarm) - typically a leaky capacitor
> 100mAh

Greetings!
The (new) battery on my '83 944 will go dead over the period of a few
days if left unattended. Not sure if it is related, but at night when
I drive with the headlites on I also noticed that the alternator idiot
lite will lite very, very dimly.
I hooked a meter up between the negative battery cable and ground and
starting pulling fuses but none of them had a significant effect on my
current draw --I only noticed a slight decrease when I pulled the fuse
for the clock / radio.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions on what to check or
do next? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers!
