My 1991 200 avant has been going dead overnight recently. I had to put a new battery in about a month and a half ago. It's been like -7 here the past couple nights and I'm going out to a dead battery. Are there any common items that draw a lot in these cars?

Also, I just fired up my car and it was fine this morning. I pulled fuse #4 last night (we checked for a draw last night and it dropped when I pulled fuse 4).

Same thing happening to me here.... haven't tested the draw yet.

I was having the same problem with my 200 just before I sent it to Marcs...

Fuse 4 is interior lights. I know one of my visors is broken. Maybe it tweaked just right and released the switch for the light? I'll have to look into it when it's warmer.

hmm. I have my entire headliner out with visors..... and this started happening since then... I didn't think it would still draw power if there is no light to light up haha.

Fuse #4 is also for the cig lighters and radio

Nothing in my lighters and I've been needing an excuse to get a new radio.

haha.... so my battery was also dying as stated before. I too took out the 4th Fuse and now battery is not dying at night

I was having the exact same problem about a month ago. Pulled #4 fuse and boom. I believe the cause was my stereo as it was doing funky things with the key in the off position
