I have an '85 Mitsubishi Galant. Yesterday the car battery went completely dead. Battery check says battery ok when charging. Could hear a clicking noise near back passenger window on driver side. Sounds a bit like the window motor when you roll up the window too far. When opening driver door it slows clicking. When opening trunk clicking stops. Any idea what is killing the battery as it goes completely dead. Tried to charge battery but it won't keep up. Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Was there any type of anti-theft installed in that car?

 

i think you might have a wiring issue. My mother had that problem on her car where it would keep wanting to put up the window and it would just drain the battery the whole time. After you jump it how long does it last while the car is running?

 

no anti-theft device. on further investigation it is the automatic shoulder strap belt device that is malfunctioning. how do i turn it off? is there a fuse or can it be unhooked somewhere? please let me know how to get to it if possible. the battery will start on a jump and the car runs but as soon as you turn it off it is completely dead again. the battery charger states the battery is ok and is charging.

 

You will need to have the motor for it and the wiring fixed. My suggestion is go to the dealer. I believe that in most cars, becuase it is a safety issue, there is a manditory lifetime warreny on stuff like that. So bring it there an i should be fixed for free.
