2005 Honda CRV Parasitic Draw
#11
Went out today and pulled the power to the window motor on the passenger side. Still having parasitic draw. Furthermore...even with the fuse pulled for that window, NOW it still has a parasitic draw so maybe I made a mistake. I'll have to go back and pull all the fuses again, I guess.
If the parasitic draw stops after all the fuses are pulled. Put one fuse back in at a time checking parasitic draw each time.

I have checked both front windows and they are both drawing the same...22mA with the fuse in and 8mA with the fuse out. That doesn't seem enough to kill a battery that has been sitting for awhile. I measured the volts of the battery and it was 12.65. I'm just going to watch it for awhile before trying anything more. Many thanks to all who have given me some good information. I have learned a lot. I had gone to Advance Auto once before to have them check the battery and I think I'll go again. The big problem is that I can't trust the Honda now. We drove into town earlier this year and I left my wife in the car while I went in for an appointment--about 30 minutes. Came back out and the battery was FLAT. She had been listening to the radio for 30 minutes. I just don't get it. Perhaps it is an alternator issue. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.

When you say "pull all fuses" do you mean ALL the fuses in the Honda? Something new: I noticed yesterday when it was late in the day that the driver's side window switch was "lit up". Lights weren't on. Key wasn't in the ignition. I tried the driver's side window and it worked--up and down. I pulled the fuse for the left front window.
Is that supposed to be some feature of the Honda? I tried to reset the windows by turning the engine on and lowering the driver's side window and then raising it and holding it for at least 2 seconds. I think I read that in the manual. Didn't fix the problem.
