Battery Disconnect
I have now learnt the benefit of using a battery disconnect.
For the first time I did not disconnect the switch and guess what after a month the battery is completely dead.
A note to myself in future as the last thing to do before putting the car cover on and putting her to bed.

And they are important for 'easy' safety when you need to work on the electrical system....and for preventing theft.

Battery Switch
This is really helpful! Question why is the battery dying out after a month? I've noticed on my 82 CE that my battery seems to die out after three or four starts :*****

Yes, it goes on the (-) post. That extra wiring is for a subwoofer with integrated amplifier.
