HELP! Car Killing batteries {long} 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Warp103 on  Fri Feb 1 16:35 CST 2002 [RELATED]

OK hear is the facts got car a month ago and
it runs like a champ then 3days ago the car dies in the middle of traffic
Just before it the instrument started to show half of the normal values and speedo jumps 8 blocks later dies. Try to restart and start turns like molasses.
Jump gets me home. OK Since I own a 960 which made me read the RWD forum I figure its the battery and instrument cluster. Replaced battery and remove the cluster solder all recommended points.
afternoon drive home same happen a stop jump then home.
SO I check the wiring and say WTF the wire crumbles to the 8 wire terminal
Can you tell me the correct wire and locations to which they go
halfa** patch
1 Black
2 Yellow soild
3 red
5 yellow/blue strip {the starter wire right ?}

At the alt their is a bundle of wires Big Red , Small Red and Black which were halfa** patched also I think to the wrong places
small red to Oilsender
Black to alt spade
but I get all the light at start up ex oil which lights up dimly
thanks all
