“Hey guys, why does my battery keep dying?”  That’s what one customer wanted to know about his well maintained TR3.  Here’s the car:

You’ve seen it recently.  Prior to coming to our shop, another shop had installed a switch to activate the windshield washer fluid sprayer.  Here’s what they put in:

As best we can tell, it’s a doorbell ringer that you would install beside your front door.  A doorbell ringer that stays lit so you can see it when you’re trick or treating on a dark fall night.  A lit doorbell ringer that draws from the battery whether the car is running or not.  We think replacing this with a proper switch will remedy the battery drain problem.  We re-appropriated a gen-yoo-wine nitrous switch to replace the doorbell button.

Here it is prior to installation.  Now this TR3 should be able to slumber without losing all of its mojo.
