Could anyone point me into the right direction on how to fix this! its sooo annoying!!! :confused:

What you need to do is go and see an auto elec. It sounds as though you have a power drain. they will be able to find it with some tools they have that measure current flow. its like looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes so it can be expensive.

if u have installed a new battery and its still draining it.. then most likely there is an electrical device in there that is draining it flat... get it checked out and find the source..

Do you have a sound system? and did you install it yourself?

i can recomend a good auto-electrician if u want

I would start looking at any new electrical parts you have installed lately, like an alarm, stereo etc

Headlights on ???

boot light on ?? Dont laugh mine feel into the paneling and was switched on i never noticed it, left my car over weekend and flat battery. it took me a while to figure it out :(

All of those things would be classed as a power drain i would have though. it would be unlikley it was something you did as it sounds like a small short maby a light globe or something....

Unless you have soemthing that can measure current goodluck:wave:

it could be your alternator, with my dads old datsun ute (I know it is very different to a honda) it had the same problem, the battery would go flat in a couple of day, we brought it to many auto electricans they could not find a problem and being a datsun with the stock radio there is not much electrical stuff.
But when the alternator stop charging the battery and got another one and the problem disapeared.
At work we get a few cars with the same problem, just go to an auto electrican or something and get them to test your alternator.
