This is weird.and there are probably a million and a half situations..and it even says to check and make sure that it hasn't been addressed. I've read a bunch of those forums and I haven't found a similar one. Here we go...

1) My car sits over night and doesn't start. When I crank the key..i hear a clicking under by the fusebox. I took out the right relay..and tried starting it the next day. Nothing. Then 2 days later...the left relay starts clicking. Can someone tell me what these relays mean? Will that have any effect with the car not starting? or power draining?

2) My blower motor doesn't work all the time. No, the blower motor isn't shot, because it works...but I have to move the connection around to get it working. Can anyone tell me if this is bad wiring or a short in the system?

3) My dash lights worked...but I found out that I had to start pulling the TAILLIGHT fuse for the dash lights to work..well..that doesn't work anymore.

Can someone tell me if these problems are all related?


I'm really sick of this wiring bullsh*t. I'm considering buying a whole new engine compartment wiring harness and an interior wiring harness.

Also..just a random question...Can you put a evo engine(4g63) into a eclipse body? I heard a friend talking about it..but if you can..I honestly don't believe it. It looks like The engine mounts n stuff fit. Please let me know!
 
I have the same "no start" issue right now and had the same the same thing with my old Accord (it's a @#$% curse I tell ya). All I get is a click. With the Accord it was a bad alternator, main fuse and bad ground and since I have the same issue now, it's probably due to the same problem. Check that out, I'm in the same boat so let me know what you find. Also, check your boost control solenoid for the turbo issue. Any other dsmers care to chime in on this one?
 
Yea wiring problems suck i can try and help you the best i can over the net but first do you have any diagrams or a multimeter? If you have a multimeter you should check for parasitic current draw. Assuming you have a meter you have to use the volts dc function and place one lead on the negative terminal of the battery and the other one on the negative cable a couple inches away from the batttery and check your readings if you have readings over .02 you are pulling voltage excessive voltage out of the battery at all times, by the way the car and all acessories have to be off when doing this test. If you are over .02 then start pulling fuses one at a time while watching the meter pull one and see if it changes if it does then you know you have a problem in that wiring circuit then repair that circuit and retest if it doesnt change when you pull the fuse out put it back in and go on to the next one. if you have problems with multiple fuses it is probably going to be a fuse box issue. If you need help diagnosing the circuits ill help you the best i can over the net. If you dont have a multimeter and a chiltons maual for your car it will be a good investment and will aid in fixing your problem. Any questions just pm me but it sound like you have a power wire shorting somewhere or a bad fuse box by the way wiring sucks. :cry:
 
i've also noticed that my car studders or jerks between like 2000 and 3000...would that mean fuel or air? please help me out! plus i noticed i get terrible gas mileage...
