My 02 Rsx has been randomly shutting off lately. I just got a new ignition switch and the problem went away for a few weeks then it started to happen again. It seems to be more frequent when I use my turning signals. The wipers, dash lights, turn signals, pwr windows, and ignition all shut off, but the stereo and headlights still work. Do you guys think it could be a bad fusebox or alternator? It even dies when the car isn't started in the on position.

 

Check your grounds.

 

100% agree.

All of those parts you listed are related and ran threw the same loom going threw the steering column. I would check the wiring for sure. Who put in the ignition switch?

 

honda put in the switch, I took it in to them and told them exactly what happened and told exactly what they needed to do to make die. But they couldn't get it to die. So, they just waited for the computer to throw up codes. They said they didn't know what it was, so I just said replace the switch. It worked for about two weeks, then it just started to do it again. I'll be sure to check the grounds. But, I just don't get how the turning signal circuit could blow out the on switch. The A/C still works, so I am really thinkin about getting all new wires.

 

it turnso out that, someone I don't know who right after I got my clutch put in, rewired the stereo ground to something and it came loose. Regounded it and the problem is now gone.

 

Wow i'm good, e-beer for myself.

 

I'll hel drink to that woohoo

 

mine is starting to shut off also. but it happens when i have the a/c on or when i make a U turn and the wheel is turned all the way. does someone have an idea on what it might be?

 

good too see everything worked out for you buddy.
