    95 Civic DX 2 electrical problems.
    I have 2 problems with my 95 Civic DX:

    1: I jumpstart my car and it starts right up. When I turn off the car, an hour later the battery dies. I have charged it up full and something is draining it. Nothing is left on. Maybe I need a new battery?

    2: I have projector headlights that keep burning out and now the brights are out too. I keep replacing the bulbs, but they burn out in a matter of a week. I read something about a combo switch in another question someone asked. My car has 150,000m miles on it, is that what I need?

    You might try charging the battery one more time, and this time, remove the negative terminal and see if it still goes dead. If so, you need a new one.

    Are other bulbs burning out too? If so, check the voltage. With the battery charged and the engine running, it should be about 13-14 volts. If it is much over 14 volts, the voltage regulator may be bad, or have bad connections to it. It may or may not be built into the alternator.
