Alright I got a 1989 honda civic lx with a draw. If you let the car sit overnight the battery will be totally dead in the morning. I know the battery is good and the alternator is good.

I went through the fuse panel with a voltmeter, I believe is what its called, with it set at 20 dcv. The fuses that had juice running through them are:

power door locks: 11.35

Clock/interior light/cig lighter: 11.35

12V NO RC 2203 Mitsuba 805(doesn't look any of the other fuses, four pronged, big and black): 12.6

Underneath the hood

Hazards: 11.5

Stop horn: .11

What I am wondering is if all of these different things should be drawing power with the key off.

For the time being I have a switch rigged up to stop power from going through the car and I am getting sick of it and want the problem fixed.

Thanks,

if it drawing power, it should have a battery light turn on when u turn it off, unless u kill your switch. I think that it might be u got 2 wires touching. check out all the wiring that distributes electricity and go from there

also did you just buy this car, or did it all the sudden do this?

I know that it is probably two wires touching somewhere. Shorts are always so hard to find.

I did just buy the car and when I first got it I drove it everyday and started it quite a bit so I didn't have the problem. Now my gf drives it and not nearly as much as as I did.

I'm wondering what the black fuse is? Any ideas?


Thanks

have you added a stereo or amp?

i've seen where people have wired up the deck or amp turn on to constant power causing the same problem.

Have you check your trunk light? to see if it stays on?
