ok sooo i have a 1988 CRX Dx i juss swapped an EG D15B VTEC motor into it everything is running but there is some major electrical issues. first off when im driving, the car will die out because its running strictly off the battery and not the alternator, i had the alternator tested and its fine, ALSO my horn doesnt work when i push on the button for the horn it doesnt make a sound HOWEVER the instrument panel will start to light up the temp guage will go all the way up and my over head light dims out. SOME ONE HELP cuz im about to go crazy

 

have you double checked all your grounds did you splice some wires that may have some of the wire showing causing it to come in to contact and sorting

 

all my grounds are fine but my thought is that there may be exposed wires for the horn and instrument panel that are touching causing the horn not to sound but for my panel to light up

 

well first you have to go over exactly what you messed with as far is wiring when you did the swap

 

i didnt do anything with the wiring i had the harness redone by rywire that was it as far as wiring is concerned

 

so then you had to have done just a simple plug N' play right have you tried leting them know about your problem they might be able to help i would double check ever thing thermostat ground the ground form you trans to frame and the chassis to the valve cover and check out those horns as well

 

Please check all your fuses inside and underhood

 

checked and changed fuses.....still have problem now what?

 

bump.....anyone?

 

CMON GUYS.....i really need some help i have an electrical nightmare here
