Re: ClassicFiero Electrical Drain Issue.
I had a 86 Fiero for several years. It was in need of a battery when I bought it, and being a bit short on cash I picked up a rebuilt (cut open, plates redone, top plastic-welded back on, filled with new acid) battery for $20. I had always intended on replacing it with a new one, but it just kept on going, so I never bothered. The car often sat for weeks at a time, plus all winter long. The battery was always at full power, and the iron duke cranked over without issue.
Something that ties in close with what others have been saying: My decklid light did not work. The bulb was burnt out. I could have easily replaced it, but never bothered. It doesn't cast much light, and I almost never had the car out after dark anyway. (we have highway wandering deer in these parts, a hazard for any vehicle, especially a little plastic bodied 2 seat sports car)
That always-on trunk light could be a really common issue, don't you think?
