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 2006 manual 2.0 in November last year. A month back 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 started it and now I'm jump starting it twice a day once in the morning and once when coming back from the work.
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 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. ( Worcester area area )

I would really appreciate help.

Thank you guys

 

Check your cables on the battery. Pay close attention to the ground cable where it mounts to the car. If it looks loose and disfigured on the post adjust and put them back on.
