*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

What's fascinating to me is that something like this likely goes unnoticed to the average person. That you picked an Odyssey is great for me. I had an AC Relay go a few years ago. Then, again, a year ago. The dealer thought that was odd. I replaced the battery last summer when it went dead for no apparent reason. In fact, it had me thinking that I'd jumped that van a few times without understanding why. The battery guy said hot weather will push a low battery over the edge. Well, it's only four months later and the van has been sitting unused for the last six weeks as we've traveled and used our other car. And now the battery has drained down. I never heard of this parasitic draw. But, it's bringing all these disparate points - accumulated over years - together. Thank you. Well done and edited video.

Real quick. I just had this problem. I watch this video and replace the relay fuse and still had the drain. Then I pulled the number 7 fuse under the hood and the problem went away but I lost alot functionality in my 2007 mini van. So I found a diagram and seen all that was connected to fuse numbers 7. I seen that the power sliding doors was. So I got inside of the van and pulled both door fuses. The next morning my van started right up.

My 2005 odyssey also have electrical drain recently,found out #7 fuse have 4.2mv drop when key off. Trace all the way to rear right junction box behind right trim panel then to the tailgate door lock latch, pull the connector from latch it drop to 0.8mv. Now I need to figure out from the latch eclectic contact point or the micro switch!

Buddy, I've been working on these blasted things since I was a kiddo in the 60s. Helping dad ya know, electrical problems have always eluded me. Once in a while I'd get lucky but this helped me quite a bit. It was always easier for dad to fix it without me in the way and when it was fixed he didn't always want to explain to me what he did. I have adhd and questions and questions. I'm sure it drove him nuts. I do have a volt meter which I love playing with so I'm off to the car to do some checking. Thanks again always full of good info.

my wife’s Honda 2016 CRV which we bought new has 32K miles on it. We replaced the original battery in 2021. That’s pretty good for a battery to last five years. But that battery went dead in December 2022, so we replaced it, that battery went dead after the car sat for three days. So it’s not the battery. The alternator puts out 14.5 V when the car is idling, so it’s not the alternator.. with a negative terminal disconnected from the battery and an amp meter put in line, the parasitic draw is slightly less than half an amp..Some “experts “on KZbin claim that that is average/normal draw. but the battery still goes dead even though I had it fully charged reading 13.2 V after disconnecting the two amp battery charger, after the battery sits for a while, the reading is 12.6 V. But if the battery sits overnight here in Western Pennsylvania where the temperature goes down below freezing overnight, I checked the battery after three days of not driving the car, it was down to 11.2 V…. so I went on KZbin to hear what other Honda owners have done to repair parasitic draw issues. it turns out that there are hundreds of Honda car owners from all years and all models of Honda that have parasitic draw issues. It is not a common part that is causing this. On some cars it’s a power door lock that went bad, on other cars it’s the air conditioner compressor clutch, on other cars it’s the power window motor.. I have yet to see the same part fell on two cars.. it seems like it’s the control center for all of these electrical devices that is the issue.. if that is the problem I believe there should be a recall. Because it’s almost unbelievable the number of Hondas that are having parasitic draw problems. an issue like this from Honda is unbelievable. It seems that it’s never the same component that’s failing, but they do have a control center that is a common denominator.. this is not an isolated uncommon problem, this is a widespread problem if the number of KZbinrs that have posted their experience with this issue on KZbin.. I am going to contact the attorney generals office in Pennsylvania about this. This should be investigated and a possible recall should be issued

I had an Omron relay stick in the OFF position for my MDX. The AC would NOT come ON. This was in the middle of the summer during a long trip. In a pinch, I think I swapped the relay for the foglight or high beam relay until I could get a replacement. I was working on a MINI Cooper the other day as well - the front windshield washers worked but the rear didn't, even though they both use the same impeller motor (just spin in the opposite direction). Turns out that was a relay problem also. The problem moves when you swap the relays. A swift whack on a tabletop unstuck the relay for a few days until a replacement could be ordered.

Thanks for this awesome video. As another way to diagnose if the AC relay is the cause of the battery drain, would it be ok to remove the relay, jump the battery, and run the car to charge the battery. Then let the car sit for a couple of days to see if the battery drains again? I'll be without AC, but that's OK since it's only a test. I just want to make sure it won't harm the car in anyway. Or is it a no no to run the car with a missing relay?

I had the same issue with my Odyssey 2008 this year (2020), i looked at this vid and instead of changing the relay, I made sure the heating system and AC were turned to off on the digital screen before i turned off the car. This workaround seems to have solve my problem. It used to die in 2 days. Now, its been 3 weeks I did not use my car and it starts with no chokes at all. Battery seem to have maintain its full charge. Now, I make sure everything electrical (including radio) is turned to off when leaving the car.

Steve Rob Great question! I liked your curiosity and I had thought about it. I just went out and did. It' was 1.084K ohms. That seemed odd and pretty low. There's an angel hair pair of wires that bypass it below so I ripped it out and tested it again... 1.084K ohms. I went to this website to check what the resistor SHOULD be→ www.digikey.com/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-resistor-color-code-4-band The result is that it's a 1.1K ohm ±5% carbon film resistor and it's apparently good! So there you go. Also the angel hair wires were making contact and clean (not burned at all).

briansmobile1 The colors represent 1 1 2 5% 1,100 +/- 5% ohm resistor - not a standard number. Sure it wasn't brown black red which would make it 1K ohms? (very common) Here's more than most want to know: On most resistors - the first 2 colors represent the first 2 numbers of the resistance. The third band is the multiplier or how many zeros to add to the first 2 numbers. The fourth band is the tolerance. Other bands represent mean time before failure, hours of use etc. 0 black tolerances (plus or minus) 1 brown gold 5% 2 red silver 10% 3 orange no color 20% 4 yellow 5 green 6 blue 7 violet 8 gray 9 white Mnemonic for color code (usually another word is used for rage). bad boys rage our young girls but violet gives willingly 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

D Nelson Thanks for the lesson. That's cool. As I said, the Ω on the meter was 1,084 ohms which rounds up to 1,100 ohms with two significant digits (bands). And I even went outside to see if the bands were double brown- seemed off to me too. They were.

Hi Brian, also experienced this on my Honda Civic. My compressor clutch relay was stuck open, because it was all green and oxidized inside. OMRON only seems to produce crap these days. Clickers in logitech mice: OMRON, and they are crap. Relays in Cars: OMRON, they are crap. Door switches in cars: OMRON, they are crap. I threw out all OMRON components out of my Fuse boxes and replaced them with others. Some things can really get damaged by sticking relays, I don't wanna buy a fuel pump or something because of these little things...

Wallie2004 Diesel batteries are wired in Parallel. That means the whole system is still only 12V. The second battery is only there to increase amperage for starting the high compression diesel engine. So you disconnect both negative terminals and put your meter between the negative terminal and battery on the primary battery.

Man… I have a 2013 Odyssey bought used and noticed that after leaving Van sitting for like 1.5 - 2 days… that the battery completely dies and a brand new battery was out in when purchased. Everything with battery and alternator is fine and took it to Honda to do parasitic drain test and they said it was fine… also had them leave it there for 2 nights without turning it on and the volts are still reading normal levels and then they turned it on this morning and it started fine….. WTF… of course it works when they are trying to figure it out. Our dome lights don’t work (and the bulbs are not the issue… tech tried to put new bulbs in and still not working and also cig lighter doesn’t work) Basically just wasted $190 to have Honda do nothing haha but really hoping it’s a fuse issue or relay like this. Any advice?

Doug is correct. the only reason he used the electrical outlet, which looks like ti takes a light bulb to me, is because it has a large enough clamp to connect to the battery. He is just using the small jumper wires to complete the current path from the negative battery terminal to the disconnected battery cable. you could do the same thing by touching the cable to the negative battery post, but the small leads give him the ability to put the meter in the circuit.

I've had a heck of a time finding parasitic drains before! I've heard it takes the computers a while to clear all voltages. And when checking across fuses you can actually activate a good circuit so that it will show a drain the way it's suppose to in it's activated state and then you have to wait for the computer again to clear all voltages. So how to know if it's shorted or activating properly?

Funny, my computer mouse bragged it had omron switches I believe,first I heard of the brand. Course those are microswitches and not relays, but on the nerdier computer tech sites, people replace their mouse switches...

Nice video thanks. My problem is a bit different and hoping you could help me out with your knowledge. 2011 Honda CRv, we found that the battery draw is coming from under the hood fuse socket # 23, "Back Up". It is a 10A fuse. Drawing about .265 and draining the battery in about 17 hours. Be grateful for some help.

nice! not my first choice maybe but.. haha. you should do something small what you think about it ;) btw, i´mk working on my girlfriend´s volvo 240 -88. the cooliong water leaks inside the car... so the floormats is wet and seems to drip from one of the "blowholes". it´s almost all the way apart, the dash is off and all, but I can´t see anywhere where it can have leaked.. any idea how to test and see where it leaks?

At 4:47 you can see a spark jump between the coil and the think was the resister as you were touching the leads

Marcus460 Wow! That's right. I bet the computer signal is much lower than 12.5V or that spark is unintended. Either way great eye for detail Marcus!

I think thats just the light shining of the enameled wire. Using my phones screen. If it was a spark, thats back emf, the resistor is there to snub it, there will be a diode in the ecu to snub it also.
