<VV> 64 coupe runs down the battery...

[shortle556 at earthlink.net]

My dog died recently. What do you think killed him? And my car would not start. What do you think is the reason?Sorry Ignacio but your question  is too open ended. Some intelligent fault tracing is worthwhile. Do you have a 12V test light?  If you do, I would disconnect the ground cable, hook up the test light to the (disconnected) cable, and put the pointer on the negative battery post. Is the light on and bright? If yes, you have something draining the battery.If not, I would check the charging system and the battery itself.
