Electrical problem
1990 Honda Civic 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 255k miles

I just replaced my battery and alternator last week. Something is draining my battery if the car is not running within a day or so. The battery terminals are loose but tightened as much as possible. If its not my loose terminals, is it a loose ground connection somewhere? Other symptoms I have are- Tail light out. Inside lamp out. Seat belt light flashing 24/7. Thanks.

Hi there ,

Start with replacing the battery terminals and do a scan to check for that seat belt light problem, then we can look at doing a current draw test if you still have a problem.
