Ignition Problem
Hey
I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX 5-spd that I am having some trouble with. Lately when you take the key out the dash lights flicker and you can here the main relay clicking. Sometimes it does it rather rapidly other times it does it on and off. Today the speedo was jumping when it happened. I replaced the main relay, didn't help. I cleaned the battery terminals, didn't help. The battery is only 4 months old (brand new from Honda). I am stumped. It does have an aftermarket alarm on it but I checked that all out and nothing is shorting out and the alarm has worked fine since I bought the car. The other thing I noticed was that the radio does not come on when the rest of the dash is going crazy. The radio only comes on when you turn the key so it makes me feel that it isn't the ignition switch. Help!
