Electrical problem - 1990 Eagle Talon TSI

I have a 1990 Eagle Talon AWD, I am trying to get it ready to sell. It has been sitting for a couple of months without being started and has drained a brand new battery completely. This is the second time it has happened when it is not used regularly. I presume something must be draining it by having a loose wire touching something metal. I haven't seen anything obvious, how can I pin point this? The car runs great when I get it started.

The controllers in the vehicle draw a small amount of power even if the car is not running, probably enough to drain a battery over a long period of time, when you store a car it is recommended to charge the battery at least once a month

No power to fuel pump 1990 eagle talon tsi awd turbo 5 speed. checked all fuses and ecu for damage and all seems fine, new fuel pump so i know thats the the problem the mpi/mfi relay is not clicking when...

I hope this helps? Are you missing anything else? Engine cranking you have spark at the plugs and fuel injector pulse? Any applicable trouble codes? Battery has a full charge? See load side of mfi relay, that line with arrow head, with key on, good voltage at upper wire? If so, if you use a jumper wire between proper wire colors, the pump should run.

Starter location on a 1996 eagle talon tsi awd

Should be on the front top area of the transmission where it connects to the motor. Should be easy to reach but you probably overlooked it because that area gets very dirty.

How come my 91 talon tsi awd 5spd wont start

Possible bad starter , low voltage in battery meaning dead battery or just bad and corroded connections at battery post and starter. Try cleaning connections and recharge battery if needed.

95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Turbo (rocker panels)

Try eBay. DSMhp.com, DSMTuners.com, etc. Most of the forums have buy/sell sections that will fit your needs. You can google DSM forums (DSM is Diamond Star Motors, which relates to where the Talon/Eclips/Laser were produced in Ohio) and find many that can help you and perhaps one close to your location.
