1990 c4
hello- i have a 1990 c4 and this morning it would not start. actually this is the first issue i've had with the car. battery is down to 7 volts but there is a constant 'clicking noise' in dash on passenger side. sounds like a relay clicking at a fast rate. have not taken cover off yet to inspect. i did disconnect battery before it would drain completely. anyone know what i might possibly find ? thanks, frank

A parasitic draw killed that battery. Perhaps you can exchange it. Either keep it charged, or add a battery disconnect next time.
Just buy a new one (for 2/3rd the price) at Costco or Walmart.
It's probably easier, and more rewarding, to just trade in the car for a C3.
