Default Hello fellas! New to the accord world!

Well I just came home with a 92 Honda Accord LX and I have couple questions for ya accord gurus....my very first accord so i know nothing bout accord guys.

1.Well first things first, the previous owner told me that on a hot day with the windows up, the car will crank but will not turn over. What she did to get the car to turn over was, she would open the window and door and let the cabin cool off and then the car will turn over after it had cool off. Some random mechanic told her it might be some type of relay?..any suggestion from you guys would be great..

What I did first right when i made it home. Was a compression test and a wash.

92 Honda Accord LX Coupe 5 Speed.

1: Replace the main relay.
2:check the brake fluid level. if it's low then fill it up.

If by the "brake lamp" indicator you mean the one below where it shows when the doors are open, then one of your brake lamp bulbs isn't working.

At least any other 90 - 93 Accord should have the same relay. I wouldn't recommend a used one - might be as bad as the one you have. You can search for instructions on how to repair the solder joints in the one you have.

do you mean the "brake lamp" that show underneath the little car diagram? If so then one of your brake lights is out.

yeah that light means that something is wrong in the brake light assembly. it could be bulbs, contacts, or ground. pull the bulbs and look for corrosion on the contacts. if not check out the grounds. then replace the bulbs if that doesnt fix it. (corrosion, then replace bulbs then check for grounds would be easier, but you may end up buying bulbs you don't need.

the car looks nice btw man. looks like your headlights need restored but thats a cheap and easy fix.
