The 'Ghost' In My Electrical System...Can The Mystery Be Solved?
Daughter's 2008 Honda Accord wouldn't start one day. Jumped it, ran fine for a few days, wouldn't start again, bought a new battery.
Worked fine for a few days, then it wouldn't start.
Did a parasitic drain test, found the driver's dome light switch was bad. Replaced, retested, no parasitic drain.
Worked fine for a few days, then it wouldn't start.
Took it to our mechanic, did two system tests, found nothing wrong. They tested the alternator, said it was weak and probably drawing from the battery.
Worked fine for a few days, then it wouldn't start.
We just got back from where we bought the battery thinking maybe the new battery had a bad cell. Nope, battery is fine.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
