2002 Honda Civic Cpe - Battery drain

[ARWABIOHH]

I have a parasitic battery draw. Both the battery and the alternator are healthy and aren’t causing the problem. and I cant get my hands on a fuse puller to test them

Do you have a small pair of needle nose pliers?? or some good steel tweezers??
You will have to invest in some tools including a decent DVOM (Digital Volt/Ohm Meter)…

Or find a shop that knows how to check for current draws…

Here is a link to some really good info about parasitic draws…

Battery is slowly draining

Watch this [Battery Dies Everyday: Testing For Parasitic Draw] or this [The BEST Way TO Perform a Parasitic Draw Test] or this [How To Perform a Parasitic Draw Test - EricTheCarGuy] But I will say a late model car with a less-than-new battery will do this even with nothing wrong. I’m currently (pun intended) charging my car right now because of this.

You can buy a fuse puller for $10. If you want to troubleshoot the problem yourself, this is a cheap tool to buy.

Check your fuse box. Many cars have a little plastic puller included, but I just use my fingers.

Use a fuse to pull another fuse.

That would be helpful if a 2002 Civic used standard-sized fuses, but it uses mini fuses:

good heavens people you can buy a fuse puller for less than $5 or just use a needle nose. this aint rocket physics. Hell, you can even use a small pocket knife.

Yes. It won’t let me hit the like button either. Says to come back in 41 seconds. But yeah if you can’t figure out how to get a fuse out, best to just take it to a shop before someone gets hurt.
