2003 Acura Draining New Battery

Took my Acura to the Acura
dealership and they replaced my battery and checked my car to see if something was draining it. They found nothing wrong. Now it’s 3 months later and if I don’t start my car EVERY day, my battery is dead. What’s the deal?

Welcome to the forums.

What kind of Acura is it? I need to move the thread to the correct forum.

2003 Acura Draining Battery

My car is a 2003 Acura TL with 74,000 miles on it. If I charge it with my old battery charger it will start but if I don’t start my car and at least drive it around the neighborhood, it won’t start. Thank you.

Put an amp meter in between battery and wire harness connector, start pulling fuses until you see a drop in amperage. Then look into that circuit.

You can do a quick check at night to see if the glove compartment light stays on when closed. I didn't try hard to locate to isolate the problem and I accidentally discovered the problem for my 2002 TL about a year later. lol
