Starting Issue
1994 Accord Dx
Im not sure where to start.I thought I might have an alternator problem, but after I jump the battery the lights stay bright.The car will start and run well for a day but over night,it won't roll over.I can't believe the battery is bad,fairly new. It's like something is draining the battery after it has been shut off.Please advise
Thanks

Need to do a little testing.
Start by removing the battery cable at night. Attach it in the cable in the am and see what happens.....might do this over a few days just to be sure. While there, won't hurt to be sure the cables are clean and tight.
Many parts stores will test the charging system (including the battery) for free.....worth taking the car or at least the battery by one and see what they say.

Do you have a volt meter and some time? Finding the "draw" can take some time. One thing you might check just for grins is the glove box light,
From there, as I said.....a volt meter and time.
Here is an example of the testing that will be needed: Battery Drain Parasitic Draw Testing
