Punched ignition, battery drain
Hello Acura folks,
New member here. I am coming here on behalf of a friend of my wife's who has a 98 Acura TL. She has health issues, not a lot of money and her car was stolen several months ago. Eventually the police found it in the weeds, someone had been living in it. Ignition was punched. She got the car to her repair shop and they got a new cylinder in and it runs fine, however the battery drains very quickly. A day or two or three. I was thinking about it and I wondered if someone was stealing this car someone would they have had to jump something that says the key is in the ignition? Then if the key is always in would things be energized that would drain the battery? I know nothing about Hondas except my son had a couple early 90s crx types that had about 300K on them. I can run a DVM and trace though. I have always thought the lines on this car are very classic.
Thanks for any help,
John
