Hello people,

I need help troubleshooting a possible electrical fault in a 2012 HONDA PILOT.

Vehicle suddenly starts to drain battery life rapidly.
Day 1:
- Vehicle worked perfectly okay the day before and was parked but failed to start in the morning.
- Got a battery (battery #2) to jump-start and drove for about 1hr to destination. I returned to the vehicle after about 3hrs and it failed to start.
- Got another battery (battery #3) to jump start, drove home and parked it till next day.

Day 2:
- Sent my battery (battery #1) for charging and hired a battery (battery #4) to use for the period. Installed rented battery, drove about 30mins to destination, turned off engine, returned to vehicle about 20mins later and it wouldn't start. ignition lights comes on but wouldn't start.
- Removed the rented battery and started the car with a borrowed battery (battery #5), disconnected the leads while engine running (to test alternator) and it didn't go off - Alternator okay?
- Put back the hired battery (#4) and drove the vehicle home, disconnected the leads and parked overnight.

Day 3:
- Put back the leads, battery terminal sparking indicating battery power, dashboard lights comes on but still wouldn't start.

I think i may have eliminated alternator and battery as the issue and may have other electrical problem.
Is this correct by the steps outlined above?
Is there other steps I could perform to ascertain the problem?

Any recommendation for someone to help with electrical fault diagnosis.

Vehicle is in Lekki-Ajah axis.

Thanks

Parasitic drain,easy DIY step to catch the rat,hook up a voltmeter whilst car is switched off and remove fuses one by one, relay one by one, takes time but trust me, you will get to the area chopping your battery power grin grin

yungboss:

lol, ikenna before you know it, the thread will go southwards the regular cartalk...you are going to have alot of work here hidng posts. But well done bro, i like the room.
2005 Infiniti G35 i vs '97 e36 M3, which is better, in terms of fun to drive, ride handling and performance? Anyone knows?
The E36 M3 has a better handling and performance but the G35 is more fun to drive because of the ride quality (suspension, less road noise, more comfortable sports like seats). The G35 is also way cheaper than acquiring an E36 M3 just because it is japanese. The G35 also consumes less fuel. I would advice you go for the G35 except you just want to keep an E36 M3 for a long time because it has very much higher value than the 2005 G35.

If the fluid level is on hot then you should guage it. It might also be that your gear shifter needs servicing. It could be that there is something obstructing the movement into the D position. What car is it ?
