Hello everyone! I recently purchased a 2015 civic for my 17 yr. old son. It sat in my garage for a couple of weeks while I was waiting for the title so I could register it. The battery it had in it was 1 year old. After I registered the car and got insurance, I went to drive the car, and the battery was dead. I used jumper cables and got it started and drove it around. However, if the car sat overnight with the battery hooked up, it would not start. If I left the battery unhooked overnight and then hooked it up the next day, it would start up fine. I used a meter to check for a draw. It is showing around 260ma draw. I went ahead and replaced the battery and checked the alternator just in case. I have been troubleshooting the draw to try and figure out where it is coming from. If I remove fuse A-29 "Back Up" from under the hood, the draw goes away. Also, if I unplug connector "Q" from behind the interior fuse box, the draw goes away. I am trying to locate center junction box 2, in order to unplug it however, I haven't been able to locate it. Any info on where I can find this junction box? Also, any ideas on what may be causing this draw? I do not have any aftermarket accessories installed. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! I have watched a video from Hektor on youtube but it doesn't really show where the junction box is located.

Thanks!
Andy

 

I found the Keyless Access Control Unit and unplugged it, and the draw went away. I hooked it back up and went the front doors. I unplugged the door lock actuators, and the draw was still there. Then, I unplugged the door handles and if I unplug both front door handles the draw goes away. Does this mean both door handles are bad? Or is it the keyless access unit? Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

I ended up replacing both front door handles and that fixed the problem. I ordered them from 1AAuto and they work great!
