I've had to store my 89 SC (195k) for about a year. I periodically started it and drove around the quick storage lot a few times but eventually the battery went stone dead. It was always dead after about 3 weeks anyway. It was a nearly new Diehard. I removed it and had it charged and checked at Sears and they said it was still good. The car seemed to run ok but possibly a bit rough in the winter.
I have had the battery out for several days now and I absolutely must move the car about 15 miles to my new house. I have only one shot at this due to time, work, and moving pressures. Do I have to do anything to the computer so it will run properly when I install the battery???? One guy told me I had to park it against a telephone pole in drive and let it run for about 1/2 hour so the computer will reset. I never had to do this before when I replaced the battery. What is the deal???
Second question....why does the battery go dead after a couple of weeks in the first place.???? Is this a bad ABS relay???
thanks
