> [@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](https://community.cartalk.com/t/battery-is-slowly-draining/192709/2): > > Watch this [[Battery Dies Everyday: Testing For Parasitic Draw] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGz9BRJ09Rw) or this [[The BEST Way TO Perform a Parasitic Draw Test] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRcj1fQcWwU) or this [[How To Perform a Parasitic Draw Test - EricTheCarGuy] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF1gijj03_0&t=71s) 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/2002-honda-civic-cpe-battery-drain/198051)._
