i put in a battery from my hatch to the s2k couple of weeks ago. it died on me this morning was gonna goto school and couldnt go. i turn on the a/c to see how the power is.. when i turn it on the gauge cluster has no lighting.. turn on the headlights and its barely on.

this is my daily driver and drive about 60 miles tuesdays and thursdays.


its either a bad battery or a short in the electrical system

im gonna get the battery checked later.

can someone help.


info:

i bought the car with the original battery in july 07. car was hardly driven being an 01 and bought with under 5k miles. the original lasted until mid october. and the hatchback battery for about 3 weeks.

 

do you have a multimeter? If so, pull the battery out and set your meter to ohm's and read the resistance across the positive and negative cables...you should read a very large amount...the lower the resistance, the more continuity you have, and the faster your battery will drain. The ecu is a path of continuity even with the car off. If you pull the ecu fuse, you should be reading an infinite resistance. If you're not, pull fuses one at a time until you are reading an open circuit.
Any number of electrical systems can develop a small short that doesn't draw enough amps to pop the fuse. It can be a hastle to hunt down a small drain, but I'd start by looking at any aftermarket stereo or alarm circuits, since those are installed by glorified ametuers most of the time, have a much higher failure rate than any of the factory wiring or components in your car. Good luck.

 

there is nothing aftermarket

 

mabie the battery just has a dead cell. it happens alot especialy in this weather were having.

 

battery mostlikely.. i changed out mine about a month ago original 01.. my car was doing some of the same things

 

Have your altenator checked.

It may not be charging. Just a thought.

 

Get it to autozone for a free check out...

 

i went through the same thing wit my accord. Just replace your batt and it will work perfectly.
