[W126 Coupe] ALT. AMPS.

[Dick Spellman]

Clay:

Quite a bit of info on this topic in the archives.  If you have an after 
market amp, disconnecting may prove to be of help.  Otherwise, read the 
archives and look for info posted re: 'battery drain' which I know in 
one prolonged investigation turned out to be a bad headliner 
on/off/timer courtesy lamp up front.  You could just disconnect this too 
and see if the drain stops.  This presumes you've checked alternator 
output, battery in best charged state (north of 12.7VDC) etc.
