ok along time ago i had a shop make my charge pipes on my z6 turbo, on the passenger side whole where you run them, they smashed the wires in the loom right there, the wires are for the blinker,headlight,corner light,ect... well everything works but the front right blinker and corner light, it fried a single wire up under the dash, i replaced the wire because it melted the insulation, well now a year or so later, my turbo ls is in it, now with it running it will click, the headlights and radio, gauge cluster,ect all of that will go out, and 5 or so seconds later click and come back on? any suggestions?

you are grounding out somewhere. Do you have any open connections that might be touching metal while you drive and hit bumps?

it does it when its just idleing, i havent driven it yet, just got it running again. but if the horns hooked up and u press it, it will shut stuff off too, im guessing maybe it just messed up the relay? but would it cause problems like this or not work at all?

So its not blowing fuses? Cause if it's not blowing fuses than it would have to be the relay. Grounging out would cause the fuses to go. Is the relay new as well?

SOunds like wires might be crossed on the relay or something thats making it load up.

ive replaced the wire that burnt from under the dash to the relays for the headlights and blinkers bolted on the passenger side fender well, when i hooked power up to it, it melts again, i dont have the relay or anything hooked up, but both headlights still work and only the left side high beem. i duno its wack but i want to fix it cause my crx is very clean and straight and im the 2nd owner so theres no point in **** cannin it!

thats sounds like a bad ground not that its grounding out... when you press the horn if its not grounded right it wont handle a load and it will just cut out...

but when i press the horn when its hooked up, it cuts power to my gauges and shti too so i just unplug it

It's getting too much power, meaning you've got it hooked up to something with too much amperage. It's not adjusting the current to the plug, so you've got it wired to a constant or something.

thats the thing though i havent rewired anything but the one sigle wire that had the insulation all burnt off, and that wire runs to the relays up front for the headlights and ****.

If it's clicking, it's the relay. It might have done something to it when it fried the wire. Have you even tried getting a new relay and hooking it up. ? THe clicking you here is the relay. For some stupid reason, it might have decided to take a dive. Won't hurt to try.

how much are relays? ive read somewhere before that i could use a whole eg fuse box as well as they tend to not go out as much as ef's? this true? im sure i could go to a junk yard and get the relays hella cheap, how many are on the fuse box and does anyone have any chassi electrical wiring diagrams?

mycrx7

anyone had similar problems?
