S6 - battery dieing (capalmer@nortelnetworks.com)

[Benjamin Kwan]

I've had this relay (441 959 257B) replaced on my 92 100CSq also.  Battery
would drain every morning.  Mechanics saw that there was a huge power draw
when the car was off.  Only thing that isn't common to your problem is
that I didn't notice anything weird with the windows.  

I still have the broken relay in the car right now if you need to see it.
I'm in the Billerica office at Nortel.  E-mail me offlist if you need to
check it out.

HTH,

Ben Kwan
