Spent 4 hours tracking down a parasitic drain on a 2012 Civic, turned out to be the glove box light staying on.
Pulled every fuse one by one with my multimeter, even checked the alternator diodes, and it was that stupid little plunger switch not making contact anymore, has anyone else had a cheap interior light drive them crazy like that?

Man, four hours for a glove box light? Seems like a lot of effort for something that barely uses any power. Did you even measure how much it was actually draining?

Yeah @jenniferwells, I skipped the math and just hoped the battery wouldn't notice.
