    Just tried the Battery /Click test and YES, solved the problem. A/C Relay replacement fixed the battery drain. Canadian Tire wanted to perform an entire ac system replacement (over $2000 job for my elderly mom). Brilliant, quick $20 self-fix -- THANK YOU so much!!!

    Woke up a couple days with dead battery which was replaced 2 times within the last year. Appears to work for the 2005 Honda Accord V6 as well. Thanks.

    very good detail on the internals of the relay thanks for opening it I was wondering what a damaged one looked like inside.

    Thank you, so much for this video! It was exactly the problem my 2006 Honda Element was having. That click was the give away and the relay had a rattle when I took it out.

    Faced such a problem. New battery. The car costs 3 weeks. The battery is completely exhausted. Holono seek the river. Summer is coming, I will treat. Thanks for the tip. The dipped light still stopped working. Only the main beam remained.

    Exact description of what is happening with my 2009 CRV, I recall that knocking sound. This happened after I went through a car wash and had an undercarriage wash. I believe that it shorted out the clutch and burned the relay shut. Does my theory hold water? no pun intended

    This may be my problem too as the problem started after I had just had my AC blower motor replaced. I have been disconnecting the negative battery cord when I park up as no one seems to have any idea what it is till I saw this today.. When I reconnect it, there is a little spark but no click. Does the click only happen when the positive terminal is disconnected/reconnected?
