Hi I have a 1984 gal rx7 and for some reason I am having power issues. I had the car parked for a while like 9 months and it killed the battery i left in it so I bought a new one and after a few days of the battery city in the car it died too. Now the car was doing a little bit of squealing and I think it is the alternator belt because it is pretty old. Has anyone else had this problem???? Would the digital clock drain the battery like that or could it be a charging issue????????

 

The clock will drain the battery, but it usually takes more than a few days. Have your alternator checked.

 

If you are getting a squealing noise, check the tension on the alternator belt.

Yea im having the same problem i bought a new battery 3 months ago i had the car park I try to turn on the car not to long ago battery was completely drain out i went got a new one the next day battery was completely drain again ?

 

Listen to percent and kentetsu, it's good advice. Check belt tension, if good, check alternator.

 

You have a power draw somewhere or a short.

 

Check your rotor and distributor cap . I got my fix today . Now my battery is charging. Thanks for the help everyone.

 

Hey turns out it was the alternator belt. Was really old so I switched it out with a new one and it's working good. I figured I would fix the easiest part and if that didn't work then I would take it to a shop to have it looked at. But any who thanks for the help guys.

 

That's what we're here for

Glad you got is sorted, and thanks for letting us know...
