severe battery drain HELP!
Hey ht, I have been having this problem for a while now. It seems that there is something draining my battery. I have a 1990 integra ls. I have removed the stereo, the clock, and I have made sure that nothing is on when i walk away from the car. When i get to start the car the dash lights will come on but that is it. It wont even ding at me when i put the key in with the door open and the seatbelt wont move. So i have to hook up my battery charger and let it charge for almost two hours. I have a fairly new optima battery and the alternator was just replaced last year. I was told to disconnect the items that I listed earlier but it seems that nothing is changing anything. Please I really need some help here!

i know you said you have a newer alt. but if you have a clamp on amp meter you can check amp draw through the battery and start unplugging things until you see no amp draw. i would seriusly start with the alternator first. you havent ran (jump started) the car with out a battery have you? if you did that could fry your ecu, main relay and a number of things

When did you notice the problem? Sometimes when something has been changed you can pin point the problem. Try to remember when the problem started and if anything had been done to your car at that time.

Re: (pabstj)
it is more important to monitor amp draw, than volts in this situation, if you dont have a amp meter then you will continue to have to try one thing at a time each day
