Asked by Jane May 14, 2014 at 11:58 AM about the 1996 Lincoln Town Car

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

A brand new battery after sitting several
months.  So of course we just thought it
was because it sat so long.  The battery
would not take a boost and needed over 48
hours of trickle charger to charge.  Drove it
home had the  battery has replaced and
terminals cleaned and alternator checked.  
Everything was fine.   Brought it home.  
New couple mornings real rough starts.  
Then sitting three days and new  battery is
completely dead again.  What could this
be?  And one else experiencing this in a
1996 Lincoln town car.

Parasitic power draw its necessary to isolate the circuit, a multi meter makes this rather easy... observing battery voltage while removing circuit fuses which increase battery voltage can indicate a circuit worth more investigation. I purchase one owner Lincoln Town Cars 1987 - 2007

A motor us running...does the air suspension bags have a motor to keep them pumped up?
