Alrighty, 90 245 aw70, stock heap.
The car charged fine before sitting over the winter. I attempted to begin running it again and now i get a pretty steady battery drain, no charging, etc. I am glad i did not move it durring the winter only to have the battery frozen killed.
Grounds to the charging system test fine, and externally jumping them does not change anything.
However, i get only get the CEL, service light, oil, and the OD/downshift arrow when switching the ignition to position 2. Of those the service light and od/downshift arrow both go off nearly immediately one after the other.
When i ground the alternators exciter wire i get all appropriate dash warning lights on solid when in position 2 on the ignition switch like i should.
Anybody have any suggestion where to go next, i am guessing something is shorted, ...but where. Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
