Non mustang car electrical trouble
 

Hey folks. Got a question for ya.

I have a 84 Honda Civic DX for a beater.

Welp, it runs great but i have trouble with the tail lights.

when i turn on the car the dash lights and tail lights do not come on untill the car has run for 1-2 minuits or traveled about 150 feet. But the did always come on.

untill yesterday, it was cold as hell out and the lights wouldnt come on.

any ideas what could cause this?

bulbs are fune. fuse is fine. possoble relay trouble?

go ask at a ricer forum...no one cares about a sh!tty honda. :salook:

Ha ha. I'm guessing your wires are fried. That or one of the connectors are loose.

BTW, I'm guess by the way it sounds, your ricer isn't worth the 50 ft. of wiring it would take to redo all of it so just sell it and buy yourself a barbie doll. :ohsnap: :breakdancesmilie:

:breakdancesmilie: :Woot: hahahahaha.

Lol.... u ****ers are harsh!

Naa i need to get this fixed. 1984 w 105k miles on it. i can put another 100k on it. keep em off the stang. 35mpg!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just figured that you would get more use out of the barbie doll than that ricer. Usually I don't give out help for work on ricers because I'm a stuborn bastard that likes to buy domestics no matter what, but now a days even the domestic cars have parts made is Taiwan and Korea.

wait, I figured it out...its operator error. :argue:


are the bulb socket's connection points pitted?

dude arn't you mr "I have pots of money in everyone one of my rooms in my house". Sell that **** and go lease a toyta corolla for like $99 a month. thing gets more then 35MPG, i rented one once and traveled from south florida to north florida with a quarter tank.

Lol... im not lookin for another bill. i wanted something to beat the hell out of.

And i wouldnt go so far as to call it a ricer. It is all stock, i dont plan on any altezza's or boeing 747 tails on it.

its in awesome condition, runs like a champ. hyst the lights suck.

i dont think the bulb sockets are pitted, the tail running lights and the dash lights are all effected. The brake and reverse lights are good too.

i dunno. i might just have to rip all the wiring out and redo it all.

This is totally unrelated but funny.

saw that coming. hair trigger bitch.

I would say that you might have a loose ground somewhere... and when you drive it the wire makes contact again allowing your lights to come back on. I suggest checking all grounds.
