Sign In Hi, My mom's driver's door window went out. I got a cheap switch off of ebay and now the driver's window works even when the keys are not in and there is a little indicator light that says "auto" that is always on. I have left the switch connected overnight with that indicator light on and the car started fine. Is there much danger in draining the battery? I assume the wire was always hot but the actual Honda switch prevented the light from coming on? A new Honda switch is $230 so i just assume leave the cheap one in unless it is harmful to the battery. thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 11, 2014, 1:26 PM Post #2 of 3 (1441 views) Re: window switch drain on battery?

Sign In remove the problematic switch. First secure the window UP. Do the math as to repair cost... I never open the window - drive thru maybe- search online for the needed part might do better than 200$ do you have the old unit?   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
