RE: '81 Delorean
When last running my car would drain the battery after sitting in the garage for less than a week. I was going to install one of the products called "Priority Start" that would alleviate this dilema of a dead battery. However the drain would still be there. Any hints on where to correct this drain of juice???
Thanks,

Have you had this problem in the past? It could be a dying alternator which fails to charge the battery properly, casuing the battey to fail and lose charge while sitting. My D can sit for 6 months & start right up. Also, look at the connections to the alt - they can be corroded. Also the door lock box could be stuck "on" causing a drain.
