Looking forward to any ideas

thanks

My 65 Mustang does the exact same thing, only thing "on" is the clock/radio settings drawing power... My car sometimes sits for 2 weeks or so and will not start it,but does turn the battery over too slowly.....

It may take a while, but pull out one fuse at a time, start with the one that handles the clock, that way by doing it one at a time, you can isolate the problem to one circuit....once you find the "bad" circuit, then began disconnecting things on that circuit one at a time to fing the offending source..........

it's slow process, but it works...........
