Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. For this issue you will have to do a amp draw test, below are some videos that show you how,its not easy, 10 out of 10 on complexity, once you find the offending fuse post that here and then we will have to break it down from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRcj1fQcWwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF1gijj03\_0

I don't own one of those amp things.I just don't know what the issue is after a new battery, alternator, and starter.

it could be anything electrical on the vehicle, you will need to take this to a trusted mechanic and have him perform the tests to locate the source of the draw

Okay thank you Shawn I guessed this would be the problem. That's all the questions I have for now.

your very welcome

Hey I have more questions?

ok ask away

I just got a high level diagnostics ran on my Acura TSX 04. they still weren't able to identify a problem but I don't think that they did it correctly because they were trying to charge over $700 just to tighten the starter bolt.I'm just very confused at this point because I've tried everything tightened all the loose cables got the diagnostics ran my car has power but it just won't start.

so a shop charged you 700 to tighten a bolt and didnt fix the vehicle?

They tried to but I wasn't paying $700 for someone to do something to a car that I could do myself

oh thats good, so does the starter click when you try to start ?

It was in the beginning and then over time it just stopped making noise completely like it doesn't turn over doesn't make a sound anything.

ok check power to main and signal wire while a helper starts and let me know what volt you have there and at the battery

Thank you for all your help. Got my car back working.

your very welcome, merry christmas!
