lsvtec in crx not starting (electrical problem)
well, i just got the crx back from a friend of mine doing the swap, as i have no garage and just handtools. i drove it home, the next night i drove up to the store about 3 minutes away, and the next morning i went to meijer, about 20 minutes away. each time, i got home, no problems.
then the next day, i go out and try to start it. i put the key in, hear the ding, try to crank it, and everything just dies. nothing works. not even the horn or the emergency blinkers. i waited a while and it did the same thing. so i check all the fuses and grounds under the hood. everything looks ok.
later on, im leaving to get a late night snack, i get in, and it cranks, but i didnt start it because it was really late and it's pretty loud. so i think, good, maybe it was just a loose fuse or ground or something and its better, and i took my mom's car.
now today, i try put the key in and i realized i can turn the key to ACC (i) and everything works, wipers, lights, whatever. i turned the key to ON (ii) and the clock is still on. then if i try the lights, or try to crank it, everything dies again. checked all the fuses under the dash, no problem.
and after everything has died, i tried the hazard lights, and i hear the buzzer like the battery has died, but my last battery was good, and the one i just got to replace it is brand new.
now my friend is gonna help me try to figure out what the hell is going on, but if anyone has anything to contribute that may make things easier, i'm very open and it'd be much appreciated. help a brotha out! thanks
