Battery drainage
 

Hi,

I have a honda accord from 2001, somehow the interior lights have a voltage draw when not in use, when I pull the interior light fuse the voltage draw is gone.
What can be done to correct this problem.

Best regards

Which fuse are you pulling (amps, label and location) Are any of the interior lights staying on?

How much current are they drawing? Is it enough to drain your battery?

Flaky switch on the trunk lock? Open the rear-seat passthrough & check whether your trunk lamp turns off.

Fuse number 11 on the passenger side of the car,
the interior lights are all off, the drain is 0.27v.
If the car is not used for some days it has problem
starting, the battery is 1 year old.

0.27 volts is not a drain. I expected a measurement in milli-amps.

It's rare but not impossible for a 1-year-old battery to go bad. Disconnect the battery cables & see whether it still drains.

I have made the same measurement on a another honda accord 2001 car and no power was going to the interior lights when not in use.

2001 accord ,, what else ?? 2-4 doors? 4cyl -v6?? AT-Manual ??

u should input all the info in your signature

I have seen a bad door latch do that on a couple of occasions but both times it was earlier year car and it was a Lude

I understand you've narrowed it down to one fuse, but if I could understand what you measured, I might be able to help better.

Maybe explain exactly how you made the measurement. What setting on your multi-meter, where you put the probes, etc.

you need to start unplugging connectors and retest.........that fuse is for ( dome lite, trunk lite, door lites ) unplug 1 connector at a time to find out which part is causing the drain

start with the easy ones first,,,,,,,,trunk, dome lite..did you chk the trunk lite like Jim suggested ??? i have seen a few of those go bad.. get into the trunk, have a friend ( that you trust :-) ) shut the trunk and see if the trunk lite stays on with trunk closed ..Or pull the rear seat down ( if applicable ) and see if trunk lite is on from inside the car with trunk closed
