Electrical problem

I am trying to get my Fiero ready for the All Pontiac
Show 2012 but the battery keeps going flat overnight (and
I mean REALLY flat/dead). Working with Gary Hawthorne, we
put in a rebuilt headlight motor last fall, but nothing
else is new.

Can anyone give us some tips on what we can look at to
solve this problem? I have already lunched 2 batteries in
trying to fix this (even my CTEK Battery Charger won't
revive them!) and I don't want to buy another battery
which will start the car but after a day will go to
battery heaven!

Here is a recent picture of my car, if you are
interested.

A DC clamp meter makes that job easy....:-)

You're right ... I don't have a DC clamp meter but I'm
going out to see if I can find one.

Dr Fiero, Dawg and Artic-1

Thanks for your suggestions on how to fix my Fiero's
electrical fault. The only problem is that I don't know
how to use an DC clamp meter, even though I read about it
on the Internet in an article about the device. A second
problem is that a bad back only lets me work on the car
for about 5 minutes

The car will start and run if I disconnect the battery
when I get home, recharge it overnight, then reconnect it
when I go out again. I don't know how long it will run
the car but I might take it down to a mechanic later this
week and see what he can do for me.

Thanks again.

That would be really great. Would you come over here
(North Van) or would I come over there? There is a problem
if I come over there because I don't know how long the car
will run in it's present condition ... not very far I
think! Let's continue this conversation via PM.
