may03LT Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I went to start it again and nothing. I try again, nothing. try my remote start, nothing. not even a click. When it happened did everything light up on the dash when you turned the key on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbdblue Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 okay, Im an idiot....Im thinking it may be the neutral safety switch. based on the fact that it downpoured the other day and my windows and sunroof were all open if water got onto that shit, it might be fucked. thanks for all the help, and Ill be sure to check all of the above this weekend.

may03LT Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 ok cool, so if its not clicking, I need a new one of 'em. Not quite, you should test the (starter) relay inputs. Might be a bitch to catch since it's intermittent. Is this in the prelude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have access to service info at home, if I get a chance I'll grab the starter diagram tomorrow. I checked that alldata-like site that was posted here yesterday, they didn't have it.

Id rather an easy fix, but diagnostics just seems like you have to replace till the problem goes away.

Lbox88 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 When my starter began to go, my car started a little harder than normal. Then one day at the gas station when I went to start it, it made no sound and just sat there. No click, nothing. Tried again and it fired up. Next day, I couldn't start my car at all and it still didn't click when I tried it. Had someone try to start the car for me as I watched the starter and when they hit it, the relay did not fire, but a very small amount of dust and smoke puffed out of the starter and there was a faint squealing sound that could only be heard if you were hanging over the engine bay. Hopefully it's something simple and cheap, good luck. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
