Yeah, so I'm driving, and suddenly the entire car SHUTS down....

No lights are lighting from the cluster. I checked most of the wires... snug fitted. The battery isn't loose... I can't think of any other reason what's going on...

I wanna mention that my dizzy rotor was going bad before all this happened.... could this be it?

Or could it be a bad relay? I need some ideas so I can check up on it.

ANY help is greatly appreciated.

you check the voltage on the battery? also... my moms cr-v use to die while driving. turned out it was a recall on the ignition. brought it into honda and it was good to go once replaced.

 

Will check tomorrow afternoon after work! Thanks, any other ideas?

 

check all your fuses

 

alternator went bad, and resulted in dead battery? maybe fuses. also check the ecu. u may want to try starting it with another one. goodluck

 

Im assuming you know that its not the alternator? Did you car simply shut off immediately with all the accessories? Or did it take a short while?

 

i think its your rotor! mine did that on the freeway awhile back. i replaced cap and rotor and it was good to go.

 

replace your rotor...if that doesnt fix it, check your underhood fuses...

my alt was shorting out causing my main batt fuse to blow

 

Ignition switch posibly.

 

check the plug on the alternator, mine came loose and it did the same thing. Do you loose your presets on the radio when it shuts off?

+1 for alternator

 

Based on just the OPs first post, I would say its the alt. Hopefully he checked that; that would be the most obvious thing. I dont know how a bad rotor would make the whole car shut off though lol.

 

if the screw fell outta the rotor its just gunna spinfreely and stop running, take off dizzy cap and check that.

 

but if his rotor spins freely in the Dizzy, the battery can still get voltage to the lights....

+2 for alternator issue

 

Found out it was a short circuit!!!

 

don't mine me asking .. where was the short at?
cause one of my friend his 93 DA keep dying on him when he drive it. driving on the highway it would just cut out and will not after that.. he say about an hour or so later it would start again. does anybody know what the problem is?
