So a while ago my MDX was having start up issues. It would sometimes click when I start it up and sometimes it won't even start up at all. I've jumped multiple times during the cold winter but it's still doing the same even after I replaced it with a new battery. Asked a few buddies of mine and they think something is draining the battery when I have the car off. I'm not sure what it is.

A buddy recommended me to a place he trusts to look and probably fix it for cheap. Thots?

Never, never fuck a car battery.
Why be stupid? Does it make you happy to be stupid?

Could be the issue. Dunno enough to make a clear call. When I jump the car and take it to the store and then come back it starts up just fine for a little while. It's only when I let it sit for more than 5 or 6 days that it does this.

Yes I do but I'm not good at it and I don't want to put the effort into it right now. Installing the new battery on my own was a pain in the ass.

It's an MDX, not a spaceship.

can you take it to an Auto Zone and have your battery and alt checked? They do it for free.

Multimeter can at least tell you pretty quick if any of your fuses are bleeding power when the car is off, should just have to turn it on and touch it to each fuse and see. Don't really even need to understand the readings, just if one fuse is getting a high response and the rest aren't it can give you a better idea.
