Ok over the last couple days my 98 Civic has been having major issues. Sometimes when I shift or hit the brakes or the fan kicks on while idleing, the radio and cigarette lighter lose power then turn back on. Also when I turn off my car the locks don't automatically open and my car alarm sets itself . I'm guessing that I have a loose connection or something is grounding out. But with so many different areas having problems I'm not sure what it would be or where to start. I'm going to start checking behind the cd payer for loose connections then check the keyless entry/alarm connections. Has anybody had this happen or have any input on what the problem might be?

 

Maybe I'm remembering this incorrectly, but I don't remember my power door locks ever unlocking automatically when I turn off my car. That goes for my '97 EX and my '98 EX.

 

sounds like the alternator to me, i used to work at NTB and we would see cars doing that all the time and they usually had crapped out alternators, good luck

Alright I'll check the alternator out too. I going through checking all the ground wires as we speak but so far I haven't found anything.
