Hello Guys/Gals
Just said hello in newbie section but decided to quickly try and find help from you lot about as it seems common issue.
Bought my Accord Saloon 2007 (56) EX Auto 2.0 in November last year. Only 53k on the clock. Two weeks after my battery died out of the blue (car was not used for 2 days) - complete drain - had to use key to open. Figured its battery - jump start -ok. In a meantime had this car serviced at Honda. All tests passed - battery-alternator.
Fine, Ive been told I,m not driving too much-this might be an issue(!?). Three days after, in the morning (cold weather and very wet) opened car with remote/fob-opened door- Alarm went off. Completely confused as of what was happening. Called breakdown cover and they said if car starts fine they cannot come round as it is not breakdown . Advised me to just go around the block and it should restart. It did. After about 7min. Fine - I took it as a little glitch.
Few weeks after same issue with battery- left car on car park where I work and after 10h I could not start it again. Went again for tests -all fine. Honda did test when car was switched off- 15 min. Said there is no drain...
A month ago same issue with Alarm going off when opening car after work. Drove off straight away to reset alarm. 7 min drive and it stopped.
After 2nd battery drain I started using a bit longer way to work (10min.) without using any toys on board. Seemed fine for over a month.
Few days ago, after I changed my driving habits for over a month battery died after just 10-12h of not driving, still could open it with fob. Left it for a night as could not be bothered to deal with it. Next day after (36h) car was completely dead as a dodo. No juice left.
Got power pack from amazon that dealt with it easily but few more times and I'm guessing and battery will go bust.
I read lots of info about battery drain and people usually suspect HFS/bluetooth, radio, Alarm?
I do not do much with cars myself. You could ***ume that any advise to do it yourself is not really a good idea here .
What I would like to ask is: Do you know any really skilled Auto electrician that can diagnose fault with battery and Alarm going off when car is opened?
I love my car but it just instantly killed all the joy I've had. No idea what to do. Every day when I am about to start my car got this massive anxiety that car wont start , alarm will go off and my neighbours with kill me (6:30 am setting off).
Please let me know if you would like to recommend someone maybe from here or really good garage (NOT HONDA GARAGE EVER AGAIN -that's another story to tell) or really good auto electrician with vast knowledge and equipment to narrow issue down to something. ( Nottingham, Mansfield, Lincoln area )
I would really appreciate help.
Thank you guys
