  • Must Watch if you have a Honda with a battery that keeps dying every couple days, weeks, or months. Battery has been replaced, Starter , and Alternator have followed. You might have a Parasitic Drain in your electrical system that keeps killing your battery intermittently. Find the cause of the Drain by using the methods and tools used in this video. A little word of advice...

    that trouble shoot is awe inspiring. absolutely incredible. I have a parasitic loss in my dodge caravan, I traced it down to the instrument panel. body control units running through the instrument panel , so i was never able to figure it out completely. great job Hektor.

    Same issue here with a 2015 civic se. No key fob remotes, car has old school keys with buttons. Isolated the drain to fuse 29 and found a 1A continuous drain. Narrowed down to LF door lock actuator thanks to your troubleshooting. Thanks for the detailed video 👍🏼 🔧

    I’ve had the same issue with my 2014 Si. Walk past the passenger door and it unlocks. I’ve verified that pulling fuse 29 gets rid of the drain as well. I now have a good place to start looking. Thanks so much for doing these!

    Nice work & showing your step-by-step logic process. I was so positive it was the chingaletta. Man, I'm gonna keep my '09 as long as possible...new cars are off-the-rails stupidly complex. I mean, was pushing the little fob button to unlock really that big of a hassle?

    Excellent video! I have been dealing with my 2014 Honda civic ex with a parasitic drain for 6 months now. Replaced battery and alternator but still draining. Taken the car to Honda and have spent over $1000.00 and $550.00 at another shop for labor for them trying to find the drain and they say there no parasitic drain but why is my car battery dead after 5 days when not driven.. but still draining Brought the car back to them and told them about the passenger door if I get within 5 feet the all doors will unlock I do not have to touch the door handle. They have ordered me the door handle but it is 2 to 3 month wait due to backorder. This tells me there is something wrong or defected with the handle! Thanks again Hector you do awesome videos keep up the great work! If you were close by I would take my vehicle to you for service!!

    Hektor! HEKTOR!!! Got your attention guy? Just wanted to say - I watched and learned a lot from you for a couple years and then started studying small engine work so I turned off your notifications.
    Came back today to see what you’re up to and how it’s going with you and discovered this is the last video you made and it’s been over a year. Checked your Instagram - same thing.
    I never expect things not to change, so no expectations that you’ll get back to doing automotive videos again, but just wanted to say thanks for all your great work and I sincerely hope you and your beautiful family are ok.
    Maybe a little video about your status would be nice for all the loyal fans, but if not, no problemo. Take care and best wishes for whatever you’re up to now. 🔧👍

    Great video and i will definitely use this in the future!!! The funny thing is I was working for firestone and we did 3 batteries and 2 alternators for this 2013 accord with pushbutton start….i did all the same things with the multimeter in amps mode except i started pulling fuses. Long story short it was the drivers master window switch…..but after putting it back together it wouldnt start and kept saying “NO KEY DETECTED”….🤦‍♂️ had to get a mobile programmer to force the ignition on and some other stuff but i will definitely put this info in my toolbox and never pull fuses again lol Thanks

First the guage is not showing the outside temp, odometer, trip and even the Headlight swithc and other info. Plus the AC blower works but the AC Radiator fan and clutch do not engage. Took it to the workshop and they say to replace the MICU. In Ghana I am not getting the same model M2 I got similar one for the Honda Accord and other models M6 and M4. I need help what do I do can I try the different models on my car? What do you or any one recommend
