I have a battery drain problem and my mechanic has given up on trying to fix it. it started when my digital display went down and I sent it off to get repaired when it was reintalled some thing started draining the battery. ive had the alt tested and the battery itself is good has anyone else run into this problem or know where to look its a 1986 coupe

Need to disconnect Pos+ lead from battery , put a DVM between pos terminal and batt lead and start pulling fuses to determine which circuit has excess current draw on it.
Need to have pass door open to access fuse box so have to tape up door switch to turn int light off while testing.
There are also direct feeds through fusible links that don't go through the fuse box ; headlight motors for one that have been know to run continuously draining batt.

Any updates? I had a problem with my headlight motors. Seems to be a common thing.

Haha, thats odd, they usually can figure out the problem but act like they can't just to charge you more. Sounds like he hit a gold mine and refused it.lol
