Honda Civic X battery drainage even when car is off

[waqas.5070]

Assalam U Alikum! I have been facing an issue with my Honda Civic 1.8 related to the battery for last 10 months. During this period, I have changed about 4 batteries but the problem persisted; the problem is whenever I park my car and start it after 1.5 to 2 days, it does not take self and sometimes I do have to open the door manually as the battery is 100% drained. I have taken it to multiple electricians, they have figured out only a part of the puzzle, they say that it is not related to the battery, there is something else consuming the battery or a short circuit even when the car is off. What is that? Noone has figured it out, they unplugged lights, Tesla etc. and also checked trunk light, disconnected fuel tank clip, played with some fuses but all in vain. Is there anyone who faced the similar problem and ultimately got it resolved or any recommendations where to take it? I will be very thankful for your input. JazakAllah!

Did you get its alternator checked ?

[waqas.5070]

No. What problem an alterator can have? I know it is charging.

You have a dark amp draw issue, to isolate this fault you need to check each circuit for draw as it goes to sleep.

I made a video on how to do this a while back.

Warning!!!!

Do not let electricians disconnect the battery on running system and install a cheap analog ammeter, do not let them remove fuses to test draw loss.

The system has to be tested intact.

A relative of mine had the same issue.

I asked him to keep the key as far away as possible from the car when parked overnight.

Seemed to fix the problem for him.

Try it!

@waqas.5070 for DIY diagnostics

click & view the video by @Xulfiqar

[waqas.5070]

Thanks. I have watced the video. Can you refer me to any electrician who is capable enough to do this process? I live in Mirpur AK and can easily go to Jhelum or Islamabad for rectification of this issue

[Xulfiqar]

a bad rectification diode in the alternator can provide a drain path.

@waqas.5070 look around your area locate a suzuki / shehzore pickup stand. check with drivers where they get electrical alternator repaired. or any battery shop can guide you to a competent electrician, it is pretty basic diagnostic and repair. with correct tools and knowledge of parts store nearby you can do it at home as DIY.

Alternator repair requires specialist now? I did it on prem right with other mechanical stuff.
