Battery Drain And start issues ASAP
 
Ok so about a month ago my car had sat for about a week, and wouldnt start, the battery was really low and it just needed a jump. Well afther about 5 mins of charging and screaming at my friend about disarming the alarm. It started idled rough, but afther i drove it it was fine. Every day after that i started it and drove it about a mile and it started fine.
Well i just came back from vaction and it was COMPLETELY DEAD, none of the reading lights even had a glow dim. So my dad jumped it with his tacoma and idled in the 3000k range for about 10 mins.
So i go to start it EVERYTHING works, windows, ac, radio, lights, but it just wont start, ive heard there was a recall related to this issue. is this something to do with the recall or does anyone know anysolutions

BTW i have disconnected my amps, EMT lights, etc

Get the battery checked (free at Autozone or a similar parts store)
Also have them check the alternator while you are there.
I have heard the Honda OEM alternators for 6th gen V6's (not sure about the 4cyl) were junk anyway. So if the alternator tests bad, don't waste any $ on OEM.
