ok i really need help here i have never came across this problem EVER.
Here is what i did and here is whathappen in order.
all happen on a crx.
1.i took out my horn on the drivers side(A SPARK HAPPEN)
2. I Disconnected the red wire on the fuse box in the engine bay that comes from the ac fan.
3. Now here is the problem now when i turn the car on it wont start and when i try to turn on the lights any lights front or rear (brake lights also) everything dims and turns off.
now is this a relay or a swich. iam not sure someone has had to encounter this.

 

You have some type of short to ground causing your electrical system to fail.

 

i would check all your fuses...under the dash and under the hood

 

allready did.
thats what i figured.
so i have to fix the short and replace the relay?

Check your wiring wherever you did things.

As I look at the schematic for my Acura, I can see that some of my lights get
their voltage from the same circuit that feeds the horn. If this circuit had a high resistance (say, from arcing...?), then that voltage drop would cause those lights to dim. At least, that's on MY car.

Why not check out yours. I have a hunch that arc caused something to fry. You said you checked the fuses. How do the fuse terminals look? And the fusebox wiring? If you drew an arc, I'd think something would be goin' on over there.

 

well it sounds like a short. man someone has to have had this problem.

 

You have one of two things going on, a dead short to ground, or a bad ground. You're definitely losing voltage(and lots of it) somewhere.

 

well i fixed it it was losing voltage it was short. thanks for the help.
