No job was done on it

Tiliphoto123:
I didn't do any work on it.

I later went to the rewire yesterday and it was discovered that the battery is getting weak. So I bought a new battery and the car has been working fine since then without battery drains.

Okay. Tell us the last issue (problem) you had fixed on your vehicle before the issue arose.

Apart from regular oil or brake pad replacements.

Vehicle might still be draining battery Battery...it's just that the new battery still has enough strength to tolerate the drain

Use a volt meter to check your battery voltage after sitting overnight connected to the vehicle...if it is less than 12.7 volts with car off, locked and all doors shut, you still have a problem

Fix the problem B4 it kills this new battery

I know this because I have an 03 Accord with zero battery issues..it can sit for 3 days straight and still have its battery voltage at 12.7 volts

Thanks I'll look for a rewire that uses voltmeter to check. Thanks
The bolded above is exactly what I feel happened before.

He must have taken his car somewhere to perform a repair and that was when the battery drain began but due to his battery still being strong it must have taken a while before it's weakness started being apparent (1 or 2 weeks) hence his reason for saying there was no prior job performed on his car to cause the battery drain.

If he pit in a new battery today, it would take at most a week plus before it starts dying on him again overnight. In the meantime he will feel his problems have gone away.

I hope he does not learn the hard way.

Good evening

I have a 2016 Honda pilot - 160k miles. It’s less than one year in Nigeria.
I’ve been hearing like a knocking sound when I’m on very high speed.

I checked the service history of the car and noticed the timing belt has never been changed.

Can that be the reason? I read that timing belt should be changed every 100k miles. There is no error code currently.

Please advise

This your new battery will still die on you like the former one. It is currently dying slowly. I suggest you keep on unplugging your negative battery terminal every time you park it for long until you sort out the drainage issue so as to save yourself spending double on batteries within a month.

Three weeks now my new battery is still working fine with no drains...

Conner44:
Wow! And you leave the head plugged in overnight?

Then it must have been an old worn out battery you were managing before and it had reached the end of its service life. Lucky you

Enjoy you ride and new battery. Remember not to use it to slam gbedu or recharge phone while the engine isn't running to prolong it's life.

Buy a home car battery charger, Charge your battery fully with it once a month and enjoy your car.

where can I get this?

What could cause an Honda EOD brain box to just stop working...

I've searched everywhere on Google and YouTube still not a satisfactory answer.

calculation:
What happen in your own ECU, because it control many operations. What part if operation that fail to happen will determine what cause the failure.

Starboytwo:
I'm quite confused sir...

Car was healthy prior to that day about 2 weeks back.

I was just going from point A to point B and unexpectedly car stopped on the road.

I met a rewire on the same road who did all he could, car will not start and only crank. He claimed fuel pump is faulty, he changed with his yet, no starting.

The next day, I called another rewire from ladipo and after checking, he told me my brain box is gone.

I was bewildered, the battery charger helping me told me it was the yesterday's rewire who tampered with some of the wires to make the situation worse.

The thing go far in my opinion. And I've been really stressed.

calculation:
What is your vehicle name and model year?

Starboytwo:
Honda EOD 2004 sir.

calculation:
This should not be problem to trace. Just find Mechanic to trace which area is the problem. Area to check are ignition system, Fuel delivery system and Timing Sequence. The first to may fail due electrical reason which may be cause by rewire. Just investigate.

Starboytwo:
thanks for the feedback.

Rewire made mention of this green key symbol on the dashboard not suppose to be blinking.. He said it's the reason car wound not start.

Note. Whenever I slid the car key and turn ignition, the green key symbol keeps blinking.

calculation:
If you are of the bolded event, then that is your problem, Immobilizer problem, which means your key and immobilizer module are not communicating due to either faulty module or No power supply( fuse blown) to the module. Also the key transponder chip may be damage by someone.
To know confirm which of key or immobilizer module is the problem, use your spare key to start the vehicle. If spare key start, then key is damage but if not, immobilizer fuse might be the problem or it is faulty or damage.

Bola4boy:
Should one Charge the battery even if it doesn't do flat?

Toyoakoms:
Good morning everyone, please I need help with my 2006 Honda Civic. I’m a first time car owner and barely have any knowledge on cars.

So I had gotten this car in September, it was inspected, everything worked perfect with no issues. More recently I noticed the AC was not cooling anymore and was blowing hot air. So an AC guy came to inspect and said there was a leak. The leak was fixed and AC refrigerant was added and the AC ran cold again.

However I immediately noted that the AC cuts off after very few minutes and would not come on again, so he said that it’s a rewire’s job that the rewire will need to check the fuses.

We drove the car to the rewire and he started checking the fuses, next thing we noted was not he was unable to start the car again. The car cranks but just won’t start. He spent the whole day trying to get the car looked through the sparks, fuses, fuel pump and called other professionals and none of them were able to get the car to start and we had to leave the car at the mechanic shop.

I’m so bothered cause literally nothing was wrong with the car before now. It ran perfectly and never had to fix anything on it. Please can anyone help

Also worthy to note was one of the other rewires took note that the car key light was not present on the dashboard.

Please help 🙏🏾

Starboytwo:
This is definitely it. Key was checked and confirmed OK in ladipo.

It is time to take action to get the root cause and solution
