HI I am new to the forum but a long time Honda owner.

My 2000 Honda civic 4dr has had a few problems develop recently. I was hoping someone could shead some light as to what I can do to fix them. I can not afford the advice of a Honda dealer.

The Car is a special edition model, which means it has A/C, Automatic, pwr locks, keyless entry. The car has 145, 000 km

1) when i turn right there is a knocking sound from the rear of the car. Durring a right turn is the only time i hear this sound never when going straight. Since I last rotated my tires it has gotten worse.

2) My windshield wipers no longer function in the intermitant mode, they still work on the high and low speeds but when I turn them off they park in that spot instead of returning to the bottom.

3) After a large rain storm or driving in damp weather. The charging light will flicker for a few hours and then will go away until the next bit of damp weather.

Any help with these issues would be great Thanks in Advance.

Happy driving

 

1) I dunno... Fold down the back seat & have someone ride back there & listen? Narrow down the location might be the best thing for now.

2) Usually there's a contact ring built into the wiper motor that tells it where to park. My dum guess is you have to buy a new motor to get that.

3) How old are the belts? They get hard & slippery with age. If you overtighten them your alternator bearings might be next.

 

Thanks jim it sounds like the sound is coming from the brakes.

As for the belts they are the original

 

change your belts.
Look at the wear on your tires, if it's bad.. get some new ones, and you might want to get an alignment
