I have a friend that is looking into getting an auto 93' 240 for $200. The engine runs great, with not much rust. The only real problem is a batt drain. Whenever you plug the batt in, it drains in about 5-10 minutes. I haven't been in the 240 scene in a while, so I forgot a lot of info. Any initial ideas on where that drain might be from? Any common places to check? Might have a blown relay, could that be it? Thanks for the info.

 

check engine cont fuse in bay.... if popped batter will not charge and it will die.

 

Thanks, I'll try that once he gets it.

 

Start checking continuity between power and ground and pulling fuses.

 

Ok, got some more info. The batt will die within 2 minutes of connecting. Still haven't gotten delivery of the car, so can't look at it myself, just looking for ideas.
