You might have a Parasitic Drain in your electrical system that keeps killing your battery intermittently. Find the cause of the Drain by using the methods and tools used in this video. A little word of advice...

Hector, you are a electrical engineer . Not just a mechanic Thank you for the video

[@alfredbernal8603]

Hektor! Hope all is well with you & yours. Miss your videos. Very interesting and informative as always. Give us an update when you can my Friend ✌🕶🔧

[@semtrez2258]

I learned more about cars in one video then I did in my life time 😂 thank you and keep making these videos. I’m subscribed now

[@bigd835]

that trouble shoot is awe inspiring. absolutely incredible. I have a parasitic loss in my dodge caravan, I traced it down to the instrument panel. body control units running through the instrument panel , so i was never able to figure it out completely. great job Hektor.

[@thitran9637]

This is an excellent video! You did an excellent job analyzing the problem. Bravo 👏

[@Developer888]

The step by step process to finding the problem separates the master mechanic from the ones that don't get repeat business.

[@darrellskinner5263]

I’ve had the same issue with my 2014 Si. Walk past the passenger door and it unlocks. I’ve verified that pulling fuse 29 gets rid of the drain as well. I now have a good place to start looking. Thanks so much for doing these!

[@Davsoto120]

Im driving 50min from Chicago to Lisle every weekday to attend UTI 💀 and you’re doing a better job at explaining than some instructors there 👏 👏 Dope job 💯

[@geraldoyo1]

There's only 1 Hektor! You're the best.

[@Metalcrafter]

Good job, Hektor. Your videos are always done well and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@bgregg55]

Nice work & showing your step-by-step logic process. I was so positive it was the chingaletta. Man, I'm gonna keep my '09 as long as possible...new cars are off-the-rails stupidly complex. I mean, was pushing the little fob button to unlock really that big of a hassle?

[@kiedoyhum]

Excellent video! I have been dealing with my 2014 Honda civic ex with a parasitic drain for 6 months now. Replaced battery and alternator but still draining. Taken the car to Honda and have spent over $1000.00 and $550.00 at another shop for labor for them trying to find the drain and they say there no parasitic drain but why is my car battery dead after 5 days when not driven.. but still draining Brought the car back to them and told them about the passenger door if I get within 5 feet the all doors will unlock I do not have to touch the door handle. They have ordered me the door handle but it is 2 to 3 month wait due to backorder. This tells me there is something wrong or defected with the handle! Thanks again Hector you do awesome videos keep up the great work! If you were close by I would take my vehicle to you for service!! J Hum Nova Scotia, Canada

[@360.Tapestry]

or you could just unplug it. sure you lose the powered unlock feature on that door, but it's one less thing to hassle with

[@alfredbernal8603]

Very interesting. Thank you for the video Hector! Keep them coming!

[@elizabetharizaga6384]

Just saw your video loved the dedication to your work unbelievable knowledge of electrical components great job

[@404notfound.....]

Excellent diagnostic video!! I use a thermal camera to zero in on the drain. Also use a amp clamp on the negative battery.

[@alexp893]

"The V-hole to the A-hole"...I see what you did there 😉

[@salvadorgutierrezr5914]

Thanks for teaching Hector y Dios me lo bendiga 🙏

[@negnewt]

Great video and i will definitely use this in the future!!! The funny thing is I was working for firestone and we did 3 batteries and 2 alternators for this 2013 accord with pushbutton start….i did all the same things with the multimeter in amps mode except i started pulling fuses. Long story short it was the drivers master window switch…..but after putting it back together it wouldnt start and kept saying “NO KEY DETECTED”….🤦‍♂️ had to get a mobile programmer to force the ignition on and some other stuff but i will definitely put this info in my toolbox and never pull fuses again lol Thanks

[@AF1MIDS]

What's up Hektor hope your day is going well brother!

Invaluable work. Thank you.

Had one of those last week on an accord. Happens more than you would think.

You can go from the V hole to the A hole, but never from the A hole to the V hole…

[@antagonistalion]

Hola Hektor, Fantastic content. Can the battery disconnect switch be connected to the negative battery post for this test or does it need to be on the positive side? Gracias.

[@danielochoa831]

skills..!! Great job, homie..!

[@larryapl]

Hector is awesome. Thanks!

[@donamedoname9919]

Thanks a lot for giving me new hope. I have a Honda Ridgeline 2008 RTL and the electrical system is acting up. First the guage is not showing the outside temp, odometer, trip and even the Headlight swithc and other info. Plus the AC blower works but the AC Radiator fan and clutch do not engage. Took it to the workshop and they say to replace the MICU. In Ghana I am not getting the same model M2 I got similar one for the Honda Accord and other models M6 and M4. I need help what do I do can I try the different models on my car? What do you or any one recommend

[@don_lock]

I never would have guessed it was a door handle!

[@360.Tapestry]

shit's wild but makes total sense after hektor takes you through the troubleshooting steps

The junction box or not Mark how do you know you’re at the right one and how can you find them? I see him on the repair manual but it’s hard to identify not marked or numbered and what will be a good way to find out which junction box

[@HomieHektor]

Repair info, check out the other Honda civic video on a parasitic drain.

[@deskillz99]

Can I pull relays as well to test if the draw is from the those?

[@702goat]

That’s mental fam

[@AlbertoHernandez-vc2xy]

Hola I hope you are doing good I recently replaced the front wheel bearing on a 2019 Nissan kicks sv everything went well but now the ABS light is on I get this code C1108-61 front left sensor 2 can you give me any advice to how to fix it thanks

[@michaelvalcourt9978]

Door handle chingaletta. Great job.

[@AlbertoHernandez-vc2xy]

And what type of scanner you use ????

[@monzsterman]

What if the drain is on one of the bus fuse in the fuse box. How do you check those.

[@AztekM1]

Hector is not possible to just replace the parts in the handle or do I need to buy a whole new handle? The colors won’t match!

[@360.Tapestry]

probably just replacing the individual part would be fine, but for the cost or the way it's packaged or the trouble to replace the component, replacing the whole assembly would just be easier

[@alexandroalbares8765]

Good diarnostico 🎉

Could A Car Remote Cause A Check Engine Light Come On? I Asked This Because My Son's Jeep Liberty Check Engine Light Was On And When I Went To Drive His Car His Remote Stopped Working and I Noticed his Check Engine Light Went Off, I Drove For # Days No Check Engine Light, Than After He Got His Car Back # Daays Later The Remote Started Working And The Check Engine Light Came Back On. 2007 Jeep Liberty.

What would happen if this person brought their car to a place like Firestone? Were you the only one who could do this? Could they charge for 2 hrs diagnostic? How would a consumer find a tech that has this capability?

Hello Hector I've been trying for over 8 months to try to get a hold of you to see if you can figure out what's up with my 2013 Chrysler 300 3.6 l rear wheel drive sometimes it doesn't want to start sometimes it does I'm in the inland empire I could be a Pomona Fontana Riverside you tell me where you're at and I'll come hopefully I get a response I've left a message just about on every video have a good day 4/30/24 Str8Tattedup

Eres cabron Héctor. Firestone nunca debió deshacerse de ti. Serias un buen instructor. No como los que manda la compañía. Muchos no saben ni las medidas de las llaves y así son instructor. Luego les hacemos preguntas y solo contestan. mmmm. Look at the owner manual o maybe all data. 😂. Saludos from Reno Nevada

Is it true that a guy named Jr from Firestone taught you everything you know????
