62 Polara charging issues.
One year old battery. Remanufactured alternator don't know how old. Voltage regulator replaced 4 months ago. Ballast resistor 3 months old.
After sitting on trickle charger for a couple days it starts right up. If she sits off the charger for more than a couple hours it requires a jump. So this is problem one. After starting this morning I unhooked the battery and will check starting when home from work today to see if battery is holding charge. (I do have a backup remanufactured alternator).
Problem two. I checked to see if anything was draining battery from interior. Dome lights have never worked. Glove box light does work. How do you get the light bulb out or unhook the wire to it? I can only feel it. Can't see it. Could not find anything in service manual.
Thanks.
