I have a 1998 Accord LX and recently have been having an issue with the car dying on me. It has happened both while driving and while stopped (issue restarting after turning the car off). I think it is either a brake switch or an ignition switch but am not sure which one.

I have noticed that when the issue happens the green light on D4 on the dash will go out and the car will stall out as if it was just turned off. When I go to restart the car the red light around park will come on but the green light around D4 will not be on while attempting to start or while the key is in the II position. After a while the green light will come on around D4 and then the car will start.

I have noticed if I either wiggle the key while it is in the ignition, or wiggle wires under the dash by the brake switch the green D4 light will come on and then the car will start.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Sounds like you have a bad ignition switch. I had a very similar problem a couple years ago, the car would die randomly in traffic, it got to be very scary. Also I would see the green light appear as you describe, as if the car was just switched off. I bought a replacement from rockauto and it has been fine ever since. Not too bad to change either.

 

I have a 1999 Honda Accord and it has just started to die on me or just turn off either when running or when stopped.We checked the relay and that was fine. We now believe it has something to do with the Fuel Injector Relay.But the problem is, We dont know where its located at?? PLease help if can!!!!
