Before winter hit, I noticed that when I hadn't driven my 1995 T5R in awhile (~2 weeks) the battery would be completely drained. With a jump, I'd get power (all the dash lights on, hear the fuel pump going) but no "click" and engine won't turn over. So I put in an Optima Red Top since the battery was pretty old anyways. Let the car sit for 2 months and it started right up. Let it sit 3-4 more weeks (until today) and Optima is dead (barely enough juice to power the dash lights). Get a jump and lights are on bright but same situation as before - no click, engine won't turn over. Get battery checked at Autozone and its drained. Get it charged and still no start - same thing as when I got it jumped.
Am I looking at an ignition switch problem (electrical portion was replaced 1k miles ago)? Alternator problem? Starter problem? I'm stumped. And right now I can't even start the car to check and see if I get 14 volts
I'm more concerned about the starting problem than the battery drain but I need to address both soon since I need to get this car up for sale!
Yellow T5R w/ 84k miles. Koni / Eibach. Angle 16T, TME reflash, EST downpipe, TME exhaust.
