Heading in that direction. At the moment my air con and audio aren't working. As well as display for clock ant temperatures. Just picked up some spare fuses so hopefully that's all.

In my search, I came across this article. Text from a US service news bulletin This is for the Accord (Acura in the US) and is aimed at dealers, but may be useful: When it comes to parasitic draw, the body controller area network (B-CAN) system—first introduced in the ’04 TSX—is a major...

Just checked the meter with a 21w and 5w bulb. Very close to rated wattages. Just for peace of mind.

Just hope thes ah meter is reading ok. Must be - that's why the battery is going flat. Lol

More worried about me. Lol. Supposed to be dry tomorrow or Monday. Have to find some long wires anyway.

Ok freddofrog. It's raining here now so under the car ain't an option. Typing on phone so sorry about mistooks. Lol

Quite so. But seeing it and finding it may be two different things. Duh!

That's right. If the draw on the dmm is truly 24ma. That should be in the region of 0.576 amps in 24 hrs. But it is 3.574 amps in 24 hrs so that 24 ma is a false reading for some reason.

Well, I've tried a few more things. Boot light disconnected for 15 hours - no difference. ( 133mah average) Alternator disconnected for a hour - no difference. (166mah ) Fuse 20 out for an hour - no difference ( thought it may have been something to do with headlight adjusters ) (169mah ) I know...

The meter indicates the number of cumulative amps used over any period of time you like. Then you can work it out from there

Way lower than mine. I'll have a look at how to post pics over the weekend. I have taken the bulb out of the boot light for overnight. Grasping at straws now. One thing I did come across is that a bad alternator diode can drain the battery even though the alternator charges ok. I'll see how the...

Freddofrog. How is your meter working out ? Just read mine after an hour and it's showing 0.133ah. Can't understand it because dmm is only showing 24ma.

Sorry can't post photos ?

Have to have a think on this. As I recall at the start of the thread, there was a draw of 150ma before I shut the boot, and you thought it may be the micu waiting to shut down. I know I'm only looking for 125ma'ish but makes one wonder if that's coming back on. I also wonder if there may be a...

Btw when I first connected the meter an locked the car, before closing the bonnet it was showing 0.02ah draw. Which is what I was hoping for.

Hi. Looks like I have a hidden problem. Ah draw for 24 hours 3.574amps Wh draw 42.8watts. That's an average of 149 mah. Even taking into account locking and unlocking car it's way to high. No wonder the battery is going flat. Question now is how to find this sneaky drain when locked and...

I have Dolphin sensors fitted and they are wired to the reversing light power. The ones that connect to the canbus are for the front so that the sensors only come on when you ar travelling below about 5 mph. They pick that info up from the canbus.

That's a completely different clamp from mine. That looks like a "space saver" battery too. Also used 10amp cable to connect up.

Good to know thanks. Hope it stays charged for you now. If I need one that's the one I'll try. Only the 80amp one.

Lol. Both clamps are basically the same. Slacken pinch nut and lift off. The + one has a small plate sticking out but there's only a small wire attached to that. I'd send a pic but the cars all locked down now - monitoring.
