1999 Lincoln Town Car Electrical Gremlins by w9r1

My 1999 Town Car just started running the battery down. The battery is only a year old and I had the electrical system checked at Pep Boys(everything checked out normal). Just to be sure about the battery (Florida kills batteries) I had a new Bosch battery installed yesterday. This morning I go to get in the car and it's dead again. I can't see where I left anything on, no lights and all doors are closed. When I turn on the ignition, the dash lights flash wierdly, then appear to go normal. Upon ignition it just clicks. The engine will jump start. I have an aftermarket stereo which was installed a couple of years ago by Auto Safe and Sound. The unit has an external Sirius tuner which appears to have stopped working about the same time the anomolies started. I'm going to charge the battery and disconnect the Sirius tuner. Any other ideas?

You need to put an ammeter in series with the battery, and start pulling fuses until you see the draw go away, then isolate whatever is on that circuit until you find the problem.

Well now I'm beginning if I have a battery problem at all. Hooked up a jump box to the battery, all the starter would do is click. Hooked up the battery tender to charge the battery overnight and it indicated the battery was fully charged. Does anybody know if the starter solenoid on these starters is replaceable or if the whole starter has to be replaced? Anybody replaced a starter on one of these engines? Any gotchas?

The starter change-out is not tricky. However, this starter usually makes some unusual noises and does not turn the engine over quickly before it quits. It gives some indication that it is going-out. When you were checking the battery, did you do anything like turn the headlights on and try to operate the power windows, blow the horn, or operate the trunk release? If for some reason the starter motor resistance is high, it takes more battery power to turn it over.
