Hello there,,

I am not sure that is why i am trying to get some advice from you.

I would like to find out what cause my battery drain??? .

I am thinking it might be the Stereo makes battery drain.


Problem:1) Stereo Led Blinks and when it blinks the station come up.
( I can hear the radio station when it blinks)
2) Led (Back light) goes off while driving and come back on it self
3) Above #1 - that issue occurred when ignition was off.

I already replaced battery couple month ago // not even 1 year.
I have replaced starter and other small accessory.
and today i had to jump start it.

Try and get your hands on a amp probe and watch the draw on the battery, if it seems to high, like over .05 milli amps after 5 minutes (unless you have blue tooth) then try and pull the radio fuse and see if the draw drops

do i need to have specific amp probe? or is it going to work with muti-meter?
i have muti-meter (fluke) // <<<<< <<<<<<<

The fluke will work. It should have a setting for the testing.

Do your dash lights dim too? I had a problem in my 05 accord EX a year ago. All the lights would "pulse". I replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, battery, then decided to replace the alternator (which I didn't think it was because I JUST replaced it a month prior). Turns out it was the Alternator. I got a bad one. idk if that helps but there ya go

I have the pulse issue as well, however its only the headlights, tail/brake lights and dome lights that do it, my radio and dash/cluster lights are perfectly fine...

It is the audio unit, I've seen 3 in the last month, pull the 10amp radio fuse in the under dash fuse panel for the radio and see if it stays charged overnight.
