hondaspeed1998

I have a 1998 Honda Civic EX sedan Automatic, with about 95,000 miles. My engine sometimes shuts off when I switch my left or right blinker on, and I get no engine light or any other light when a car shuts off while driving. One time I actually noticed my ABS light went on for a second, then it faded away. And right after that happened, as soon as I switched the blinker on, my engine shuts off. After that happens I pop it in Neutral and crank it up and it starts right back up with no problem. Also one time I hit the Steering Wheel, and it shuts off. (Which I thought was pretty funny at that moment) And also my front & rear (right) speakers goes out sometimes.

p.s. I took it to AutoZone for a battery and alternator check, and said it was working fine. Giving off the appropriate amps.

Thank you for your time on reading and responding to this post!

Maybe the eld (electric load detector). Its underneath the engine bay fuse box, a lot of the time you can unplg them and clean them with electrical contact cleaner and plug them back and it will fix it.

Given that your problem centers around the steering column, I believe you have a faulty ignition switch.

same problem with me, but if i touch or barely turn my key it turns back on. I think it is the ignition switch too.
