I have a 96 Linc. Cont that has developed a problem with the battery going down if it is not driven daily. I have replaced the Battery and checked the alt. All OK. There is not evidence of anything being "ON".

Any ideas out there before I must begin pulling fuses to isolate the problem.???

Thanks, John

John - welcome to the board. As to your problem, first thing I would try is physically feel the wires that exit out of the ignition. If you find a hot or warm wire, try replacing the ignition switch. Also, disconnect the fuse for the power seats and see if this doesn't help. (Power seats can often be the culprit.) Power seat relays can go bad and drain the battery. Hope this helps - -
