[MBZ] 2.5 turbo apart, SDL dead

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

Well I tore into the 2.5 turbo to replace a couple of glow plugs, but 
have not got it back together yet. No bid deal, I will just drive the 
SDL to work tomorrow. I decided to make sure its not dead just now and 
sure enough it is.  Battery dead.  Wierd.  Battery is brand new, I have 
not had any trouble before.  When we had our big snow storm, I started 
it up that thursday to move it around a bit, then it sat till the next 
monday.  When I tried to start it then it was dead as a doornail. 
Figured the cold and it sitting drained the battery.  Charged it up this 
past Sunday and it was fine.  Its been sitting since then and now 
battery is dead again.  Maybe I didnt get it charged all the way the 
first time, I hope.  If something went wrong somewhere causing the 
battery to drain, it must have been something happen when it was real 
cold here and I started it up to thaw it out etc.  No, dont think the 
glow plug relay is stuck on.
