Re: Short circuit? Electric Antenna!

A month without starting will run a battery down, clock & other 
accessories. And a short drive won't charge it enough. But, One place 
you might look if there is a battery drain is the electric antenna. Our 
'92 Spider's antenna had a drain that took two nights to flatten the 
battery. Disconnecting the antenna has done wonders for early morning 
restarting. Rewiring the antenna so it only comes up with the radio on 
is not, I repeat not the solution. For a week, the car started. Over the 
weekend the battery was down. Disconnecting the antenna has fixed our 
drain problem. YMMV.
