Battery Drain Problem Resolved 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Murray Hirsh on  Sun Dec 24 15:35 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I had the condition where the battery would run down if the car was left unused for approximately 4 days. The current drain was approx. 300ma. It turned out that that this was the glove box light remaining on. The drain disappeared with removing the lighting group fuse. It was not possible to see the light with the glove box door closed. Apparently the door was warped from levering it out to cut the catch when the latch mechanism failed (a common problem). Much thanks to Abe and Rick. The current drain is now approximately 27ma.
