Electrical problem! I need your help! :o(
94 Honda Del Sol Vtec
Ok so I've had an electrical problem for a the past year? but the problem seems to go away sometimes for months or weeks and then comes back. But now its happening all the time. I have search the forum every where looking for the answer. I've found a couple peoples forums, but what they did to fix it, did not fix my problem.
BTW Keep in mind these problems happen 90% in the day time or hot weather.
Problem 1
While driving, whether in motion or not, all power will kick off. But the car does not die. The power kicks off to the entire car, then back on immediately. It seems to happen randomly. It also happens after I turn off the ignition but while leaving the power on, not every time but it happens a lot. sometimes the power to the stereo will kick on and off rapidly. Eventually the fuse for the radio blew and i replaced it.
Problem 2 (more recent but more troubling problem)
Sometimes when I put the key in the ignition and turn the power on, there will be no power at all. none. But if i leave it in the power position, it will come on magically. This problem happens more often when I turn off the car, then turn it on within 10 minutes. For example when I am getting gas, or I run into a store. Sometimes in the power position there will be a very very faint beep but no power to anything else, if i turn it back 1 postion the beeping is loud and consistant. But then i'll turn it back to the power position, no power.
Non working solutions I've tried.
New Battery
New Altertantor
New Ignition Switch
Checked and sanded ground wires (specifically one attached to thermostat housing.)
I am in no way an expert or mechanic, but my mechanic and friends have no other answers for me.
Please please someone help me!
