Q: Car won't start, battery drain - 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL
If my car sits for more than one hour, I have to get it jump-started as it wouldn't start up. I figured that the battery is getting drained so I need to check the voltage regulator, but I just can't find it. Is it possible that it's in the alternator?
