i have my door/ seatbelt light on and hear it clicking on the driver side could that possible drain the battery? because i have a headunit in it but i disconected it and still dies... brand new battery... any other suggestion? should i try the door jamb switch?
thanks

 

is the car not starting? or what?
It could be the alternator...
I don't know, you probably already checked that.
just trying to help. haha
Sorry if i didnt.

 

i tested battery.. i havent pulled alternater off yet but thats my next step . the battery drains all the way over night i put my truck to it and have to have it hooked up for like 10 mins or so then try start the crx... i replaced the driver door jamb switch i will see what happens over night when i try to start it... alternator does make sense becuase that would mean the battery isnt recharging but if it was the alternator it wouldnt start at all and when i take jumper cables off it would shut off...

 

no it wouldnt. the car would stay running. once you jump it let the car run for about a minute or so. then take the positive terminal off the battery while its running. if it stays on the alternator is fine. if it shuts off then the alternator is bad.

my car was doing the same thing. it ended up being the tac i hooked up. i put it in a fuse that stayed on all them time on accident. check and see if something like that is happening.

 

if your alternator is good you deff need to look into a parasitic drain... very common place is any aftermarket headunit... i know from person experience some dumbass wired in one to my last car and the battery kept dieing turned out it was constantly getting power. Or also if you have subs or any lighting check the power your drawing you might be pulling more than your alternator can provide

 

okay so i hear clicking in the driver door sounds like power locks when the car is off and sitting there... i thought was door jamb switch but i replaced and still makes the clicking sound.... the head unit is completely unplugged and no subs or amp... it didnt die over night last night but when try start when i came out of work seemed weak. any suggestions ? if i let sit for a whole day the battery will be completely drained... replacing pass side door jamb switch just need to find the part every1 around here needs to order

 

I had a problem with my crx.But mine was i would turn on the car and it would just drain the whole battery.Turn out to be i need it new ground cables.

 

I think you should try to recharge your battery and maybe see if your radio is directly hooked up to battery.Your door switch could be bad too!

 

bad door jamb switch will drain it ? and has any1 else ever hear a clicking sound around the door jamb switch while driving or when the car is completly shut down with key off? i will try to put new ground on tomorrow see what happens

 

should i run the ground to the chasis or to the motor? i woke up this morning batter completely dead again any1 know what the clicking could be in the driver door? i replaced the door jamb switch already

 

hey, ive got 2 CRX's both DX but one 89 one 91.

when i got the 91 it was doing that clicking your talking about, but normaly had the same things this guy is talking about.

beeps from rearview mirror/ dash and the light blinks at you when driving.

well my 91 did it first, i checked all the normal stuff. finaly found it was coming from the seat belt system. unplugged it. problem fixed. it seems to be a always open switch, and only closes with power ( like a relay ) so when its closed, it drains the batt.

long story short, the 91 hasnt given me a problem since.
but the 89 is just now acting up. im going to pull the door cover off and unplug the sensor today, and see if this is the fix.

ill up date after im done Cheers

 

yeah what he said ^

the seatbelt retractor mechanism drained my battery a few years ago.
Took it to the dealer, asked for new seatbelts and retractors and they replaced it for free (as it wasn't functioning right) and that fixed my draw.

you can prevent a dead battery in the meantime by pulling the horn fuse from under the hood ,

 

yep, i undid the passanger and drivers side plugs in the door. there are 8 wires, 4 for each plug.

i undid the passanger side, and the clicking stopped.

didnt have a problem till i undid the drivers side.
then i got the seat belt blinking light.

the drivers side does the clicking too but its alittle odd.

i just have a feeling that if i bring my crx to the dealler they will laugh and tell me to get that Frankenstein off there lot.

so yea. mabey this will help somone that only has a problem on there passanger side. ( like my 91 has ) others that have it on both sides can hope the dealer will fix the problem.

later guys, and im glad i could kinda help sorta kinda.

ps. what exactly do those door clicks do? engage the seat belts to retract, or something?
