    Default Befuddling Power Problem - pretty urgent

    Thanks in advance for any help with this problem of mine.

    Problem #1 - I have an 87 Jag that I love

    Problem #2 - The battery keeps going dead on me while the car sits in the parking lot. No lights or auxiliary switches are on.

    I can trickle charge the battery at night and it fires up on the way to work, but when I park it and come back from lunch or at the end of the day...nothing. I had the battery checked last night at two locations and both machines said the battery and alternator were fine, just that the battery needed a full charge.

    Due to the Honda being temporarily out of commision, this is my only car. I could use some immediate help.

    Is there something that pulls power that I need to check that I don't know about?

    Any hints?

    Any help..

    Anything?


    Thanks.

    I appreciate the response, but like I said, I had the battery tested by multiple machines. All said it was good, just needed a charge (which I gave it last night and it fired up well this morning).

    I might try another battery, but if that's not it, then I'm out a chunk of change, y'know.

    It appears that there was a ground loose. We tightened all the points and the problem is gone.

    Thanks no mo hondas for your input.
