Could anyone pm me any wiring info for the blower on an 88 CRX? Stopped working when I had radio issues and I think the radio issue is a loose wore on the ignition but I still have zero blower. I am cold and when it rains here in the Pacific Northwest I have a hard time seeing through foggy windows.

one thing i will spend money on is stickers...dunno why

Remove the glove box, then remove the resistor on top of the blower that's held in place by two screws. Make sure the wire on it isn't broken. If it is, I have a few extra of those resistors...

I can tell you if I set the blower to 1 and wiggle the wires I get nothing. Need to figure out the multimeter still. Never had to use one. :-/

But if I turn the blower to 2, 3 or 4 the radio cuts out!

Bump, just wanted to say props to ef's because I just road to PC and back in one.

This is what it looks like. The wire I'm talking about sticks out of the bottom, into the blower assembly.

The radio and heater are on separate fuses, i sense some bad wiring. Check your radio wiring, one time i would blow a fuse when i turned on the headlights, turned out the dimmer wire was touching ground.

hey im buildind a 91ef si d16 turbo all stock int hondata head gasket and arp studs walbro 255 and i got sum 450dsm inj and going to tune on hondata s3 i was wondering since they are low impendance 450's i shouldnt need to remove the resister box? Should be able to just slap them in and they"ll work?

I saw the wire going into the resistor which is mounted on top of the blower. Wiggled it (I was doing this on the phone last night lol) and nothing changed. Also knocked the metal on the underside and nothing changed. I know I didn't do anything really accurate as far as testing...
I checked the radio wiring and so far we've found nothing strange about it.

There is a loose wire on the backside of the ignition which seems to be the source of the radio cutting in and out. The blower is not reacting at all though. If I change the blower to 2, 3 or 4 then the radio cuts off.

I brought this car to Honda yesterday for an appointment to figure this stuff out and the service rep dicked me around (scheduled at 9, car sat for an hour and a half and he told me it was looked at and the tech suspected the problem was the radio plug that was used to repair the hardwired radio was the issue because the plug was from a Prelude - same plug, I just capped off the power antenna).

I did realize that the radio seems to always work if the ignition is set to I, but doesn't always work (doesn't seem to work at all now) if set to III. So as long as I sit there and drain my battery I can listen to music, but if I want to go anywhere I can't listen to anything but the car.

And yes, wiring is from the devil.

SOOO....when is this car gonna be finished?

CBEengineering

B16CRXT

I feel the same way about my CRX. it will never be finished.

keep us updated doug.

For the circuit guys, need some guidance. The car is going for an alignment soon and i need some advice on specs for racing. This will be my first year racing so im a newb. What is a good start?

Street tires? Race tires? Do you have front/rear camber arms?

with 205's all around I ran -3 camber front/-2.8 rear. Toe was zero'd out all around and caster was set to factory specs.

jdm_AE86

street tires, something like a dunlop direzza or re11 205/50/15 and front and rear camber kits

nickrps

street tire = softer sidewall so definitely run something like -3 front and at least -2.5 rear. Please do not worry about "tire wear" and running that much camber. Toe kills tires way faster than camber.

CBEengineering

im also about to encounter this, does anyone know the stock caster spec right off hand? and no toe out in the front even on street tires?

:you rock

spelling of alignment in the note rocks also

B16CRXT

LOL NICE! I didn't notice that. You would think the spelling in the helms manual would be accurate...LOL

I've had this thing printed up for about five years and I finally put it in a binder and used dividers to easily find what I need, about a week ago. LOL glad to put it to good use.
