I bought a 1991 560 SEC a few months ago...It rocks!..It is champagne and
has tan leather interior that had sheepskins on them since new...The seats
are just now exposed and are beautiful...An old gentleman in Kansas City had
it since new and pampered it...It had only 69000 miles on it and I am really
the second real owner...The third was the guy who drove it from there to
Austin, and me...I got it literally for a song...Bobby Whitlock

Yes, I'm from Los Altos, CA now living in Eagle ID (sorry, couldn't resist)
On another subject; I have an 87 560SEC, looks like the black model with the
AMG 16" wheels found on MBCoupes home page.  I've had the car since 1992,
bought my wife a white 89 560SEC in 1993, (salt and pepper set), beautiful
cars.  I now live in an area of the country where you don't find as many MB
Coupes as you  do in the Bay Area but I find that the love affair with these
coupes is the same no matter where I've been.

Most of the things that a professional mechanic or auto electrician would
check for a battery drain (at least at first) can be checked by yourself as
long as you have a very basic knowledge of electricity and a multi-meter.
No codes would tell you or locate a battery drain. A few more details are
required to help you locate the problem.

1. Are you sure that your battery itself is OK?
2. How long does it take to drain the battery enough not to start the next
time with the car just sitting? 
    (Several hours, overnight, two or three days?) 
3. What is the battery voltage with ignition off while at rest? 
4. What is the battery voltage with the engine running? 
5. How much of a current draw are you getting from the battery with ignition
off?

If you could answer at least some of the questions and provide a few more
details of the symptoms and what you have checked so far, I am confident
that this group can help you to some degree, and might even be able to offer
a solution.

Regards,

Vance.

  Subject: [W126 Coupe] BATTERY DRAIN


  Hi Guys,
  Out of hospital again, it's getting to be like going to get the SEC fixed.
Broke ankle on both sides and couldn't get surgery do to the block cloth
that made me fall. Enough of that, I and my son still can't find drain but
when I went to start the last few times the wipers come on for a couple of
sweeps, Could the drain be in ignition switch or the stalk or horns or
column ? The shop I used to tune the 450SLC for emissions test charges
$89.00 per hour. I guess I'm wondering how long a Mercedes shop w/trained
mechanics would take to locate drain (ball park). Is there a plug in for
codes on a 1988 SEC ? Any info highly appreciated especially Dick, He's
helped me alot.
  Thanks Alot,
  Clayton Moizo
  Scottsdale,AZ
