HFL Battery Drain

I went to Acura and they unplugged the whole unit for me, and I was wondering if there any possible fix for this besides buying a whole new unit?

The only fix is replacing the hand free link unit, however it's part of the over head console. You may check some junkyards for any used ones.

did they charge you to unplug the unit? I might be in the same boat here

I had to replace my entire unit. Luckily I had an extended warranty.

There's a good thread around here for fixing the unit and if I remember right it costs just a couple bucks and some soldering time. One member has found the cause and it shows the fix which I think was a capacitor but I might be wrong. It looked pretty easy if you know how to soldier. I would search for HFL battery drain and see what you come up with. It might be in the garage also.

i have yet to try this please report back because there is some talk on the thread of battery draining and im not sure if they are talking about a problem before the fix or a problem with the aftermarket capacitor. im not too savy with core electronics
