Hi guys,
I've been having this electrical problem for like a year already and its really killing me.
After the car has been driven and i leave it sitting for about a week the battery is dead. I just recently replaced the alternator (rebuilt E30 318i), starter and battery and the battery still drains.
The other day when I went to go put on the new battery, the starter made a "click" sound. If I disconnected it, it would make another click sound. So if i kept the + side connected to the battery and consistently touch the negative side of the battery with the cable, the starter would click every time car is connect to the battery. But it would only click once, not rattle like a car starting with a dead battery.
Anyone have any idea where the short can possibly be from?
Thanks
