My door power control switch’s lights won’t go off..dead battery
My door power control switch on my driver side of my 07 civic won’t turn off, even when completely turned off the light stays on. Idk if they’re supposed to be always on or not but my battery has been dead the past couple mornings due to something draining it while off. Could be the problem if so how would I fix it ?
I get all the dash lights but won’t start
The past couple morning I’ve needed to jump my car, it’ll give me all the lights on the dash when I turn the key and it unlocks with the fob but won’t start with out a jump. Is there something draining it , is it a bad battery, alt, or starter? Help?

Re: I get all the dash lights but won’t start
easiest thing would be to jump it and bring it to some place like autozone to have the battery tested. Alternatively, if you have a second car or a friend willing to help, pull the battery and have it tested. Pulling the starter to bring it in to test isn't fun (know from experience), but if it's starting fine once you get enough juice, then it's likely not the starter. Even if you jump it and it's having a hard time starting, that's when you know it's a starter issue.
If the battery tests good and you have a multimeter, you can do a parasitic drain test. It is fairly tedious to do, but it'll help you narrow down where to start looking for drain issues.
edit: somehow I missed the part about the driver's side control switch. You have something triggering that to stay on and it's draining your battery. Even if those are LEDs, it's sending a signal somewhere, even just grounding out. You may wanna pull that control switch and open 'er up to see if anything looks funky. Or just up and replace it with a junkyard part

That's why I missed the part about the power switch. You had me thinking I was going crazy.. for other reason than the obvious. lol
