recently i've been having a bit of an issue with my '94 Capri, here.
after a few days of sitting in the P-lot, my '94 Capri won't start. having a 'spare' battery in the back (took it out of my '86 Saab 9000), i can jump-start it. today, because of the nice weather, i wanted to make a short trip/do some shopping, but the Capri didn't want to start. so i took my '98 Saab 9000. after returning i checked the battery of the Capri. the voltage was 11.98, and decreasing quite rapidly. in about 5 minutes it went down to 11.85 Volts.
here's the question: do i have a rotten battery, or do i have a 'current-leakage', somewhere? the battery came with the car and is a 360Amp Varta...seller told me he bought the battery new (2 years ago). (but i think he didn't do long distances, further more, the car had been sitting on his driveway for a year, when i bought it). some weeks ago i tried to use another battery, from a scrapped 9000, but the result was quite the same. when i exchanged batteries the Varta was (after about 6 mnths) still at 12.something Volts, so i thought that the Varta was still ok. but now the Varta is empty after 4 or 5 days. (after re-reading this text it looks like a 'current-leakage' to me. will have to charge the battery and see what happens, i think. input is still welcome!)
another issue:
my central locking system doesn't work anymore. fuse is ok...would that be wiring or other hardware?
still there: moisture in the storage area...
