1995 Accord EX 4 dr - This new car to me has a dead battery after 3-4 days of sitting without starting. Battery and alternator check out OK by Autozone. I put a 12v test lamp between the battery negative post and cable. Test lamp was on, but went out when pulled the interior light fuse. No other fuses turned off the test lamp. Now - if I have the test lamp in place and short the battery and cable with a jumper the test lamp goes out (obviously). But the test lamp does NOT come back on. If I then turn on the interior lights (dome light switch or just open the car door) and then turn off the interior lights, the test lamp STAYS lit.

Ideas or diagnostics will be appreciated! Thanks!

 

What are you asking...?

 

Sticky relay? Use an Ammeter instead of a test light and tell us how much current is being drawn instead.

Do you have an aftermarket radio or anything like that?

 

The door courtsey light is on

 

Could be the interior trunk lamp is stuck on. Get in the trunk and close it to see if it goes off. ..................LOL
