Posting this here to see if anyone else has a specific situation that I ran into:

What is a typical battery drain on a '97 960 when parked?
My '97 960 has been draining the battery when parked for a couple weeks, won't start and takes a good charge. The battery tested OK, and alternator is working fine.


I tested the current drain from all fuses and found that of the 130 mA total drain, 110 mA of it is from the audio circuit, i.e. the radio. When unplugged the total current drain at the battery is 18 mA.

Anybody else have this probelm? Normal? I would think not.
Radio is SC-815, working fine as best I can determine, was replaced in 2003 by the PO
