I have a 2009 Civic Coupe LX, my battery drains every couple of days. I found a parasitic draw of about 150mA through fuse 2 (ignition) in my under-hood fuse box. According to the wiring diagram, the only device directly connected to this fuse is the starter relay in the under-dash fuse box. I removed the starter relay, the parasitic still exists. I remove fuse 2, the parasitic goes away. I noticed searching online that the 2008 Civics had a failure in the MICU (in the under dash fuse/relay box) where it would not go to sleep correctly and it would draw incorrect current when the car was off, thereby draining the battery. Can anyone tell me if my condition sounds like the MICU failure? Has anyone else seen this? On 2009's? I would appreciate any help and/or information on this.
(Also, before I found the fuse 2 parasitic, I had removed all of the fuses and relays from both the under-dash and under-hood fuse boxes except for the main fuses, all removed at the same time, and the parasitic still remained).
Thanks.
