About three weeks ago my car crapped out and would not start. I had it jumped and took it straight to Auto Zone..they said the battery was fine.
The next day...it wouldn't start again. After I got it to start, I took back to Auto Zone..they said it was fine again. So this time I took it to Honda.
Honda ran multiple tests on my car and said it was my battery that was completely dead. (Thanks, Auto Zone.)
So I went to Advanced Auto Parts (had a coupon) and they got me a brand new battery, as well as helped me install it.
My car was working perfectly fine after that. Then, four days ago my car got towed.
It was fine for a couple days, then two days ago it started to take a minute to start and really struggled to really get going.
Then today..it wouldn't start at all.

Is there something I'm missing? If I can get it to jump again, I'm obviously going to take it back to Honda and Advanced Auto Parts.
Could my car getting towed have messed something up? If that's the case...is there anything I can do about it? As in request for the towing company to pay for the damages?

Is the area infront of the rearview mirror hot? The HFL module is there and is a common battery drain.

I had a problem with the blue tooth module located front center of roof. close to your rear view mirror. my battery would die if i did not start the car for 1 day. I removed the blue tooth and i do not have that problem anymore.

My TL is the 2006 model, so it doesn't have bluetooth access :\ Thanks for the tip though!

Even the 2004's did...
You have a bluetooth module, it's just not bluetooth media, only calls.
It's in the overhead area where the homelink buttons are. Search for some threads, there are plenty.
Disconnect the bluetooth, it is probably that.

Check the + battery cable. At this age it can be corroded. I had to change mine last year.

I have a 2008 Acura TL and have this same problem, every few days i have to jump start it again.
Other than the HFL, does anyone know of any other issue that can cause this? My battery is brand new and the cables look fine, please help!

so have you disconnected the HFL and still getting battery drain?
