HOWDY! MY NAME IS ROCKY AND I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE MORE KNOWLEDGE THAN I HAVE ABOUT CAR
ELECTRONICS COULD GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION. I HAVE A 1991 HONDA CIVIC. THESE ARE THE SYMPTOMS TO MY PROBLEM.
WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WHEN YOU TURN ON THE LITES THE RELAY UNDER THE CONSOLE STARTS CLICKING. WHEN YOU TURN
ON THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS THE RELAY CLICKS AND THE TACHOMETER START SWEEPING IN SYNCH WITH THE SIGNALS.
THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS ALSO AFFECTED BUT TO A LESS DEGREE. IF THE HI BEAMS ARE TURNED ON THE TEMP. GAUGE
IMMEDIATELY STARTS TO PEG AND IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT THE SAME TIME THE GAUGE PEGS AND THE TACHOMETER
GOES TO 0 RPM'S AND WILL STAY THERE AS LONG AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF THE TEMP.
GAUGE RETURNS TO NORMAL. I HAVE READ THE TROUBLE CODES WHICH ARE 16 AND 17. THIS DOSEN'T SEEM TO APPLY TO THE
PROBLEMS I AM ENCOUNTERING. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT I HAVE A BAD GROUND AND INSTEAD OF COMPLETING
THE CIRCUIT THE VOLTAGE IS GOING INTO OTHER CIRCUITS LOOKING FOR A GROUND. IF THIS SOUNDS WAY OFF TRACK I
WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO PLEASE TELL ME SO. SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE SEND ME AN E-MAIL.THIS IS MY FIRST
TIME USEING THIS SITE AND I DONT KNOW IF I RECEIVE E-MAILS HERE OR THE ADDRESS I PUT DOWN WHEN I REGISTERED
MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS ROCKYJBOUSCAL@HOTMAIL.COM. THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT, ROCKY J BOUSCAL
