non audi electrical help needed
our family gogetter is a 2003 Honda pilot w/ 90k on the clock. For the past 2 weeks every morning the battery is dead. No accesories are left on in the car. Took it to my local shop, replaced alternator. Didnt fix problem. Took it to Kirkland Honda. Claimed they couldn't duplicate problem after 2 days, managed to return car minus a lug nut, with a broken glove box and whistling heater fan after doing 90k maintenance while in shop. I drive the car to Wenatchee and come out of the hotel this morning to a dead battery. Jump the car, it charges up and car works fine rest of day. Park car in garage, come out next day and dead battery.
I need a good shop willing to diagnose a slight battery drain and fix the problem. Can anybody point me to a shop that is willing to take the time and figure out an electrical problem instead of hooking the car to a machine and tell me its fine?

Silly question, but have you replaced the battery?
If you haven't replaced the battery, it's due at 90K. If you have, and it's still having issues then there is some sort of draw on the battery. It cam be something that will be hard to find, but it's there. It's not always something easy like lights or the stereo.
Temporary solution: If you really want to make sure it won't drain then you'll need to UNHOOK the battery at night.
Sorry to hear about the problem! Good luck with it....

Battery was replaced twice. No impact
I gotta get the problem solved. Its the wifemobile and asking her to remember to flip a battery cutoff switch isn't a viable solution. unhooking the battery temporarily will keep the battery from draining but doesn't really solve anything.
