    94 Accord electric problems..

    Hi!

    I have some strange problems with electric system.

    When you turn lights on dash will come up immediately, but lights will come
    on in about 2 seconds.

    When you turn wipers on it could be like 5 seconds until they actually start
    working.

    I understand it's most likely relay but want to hear from people who had
    same problem.
    Also, it seems problem with wipers delay gets worse (longer wait) with time.

    ?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Do you have a good battery holding a good charge?
    Wonder if you have a weak battery or charging system.

    Tony,

    I thought same thing before. But no, my battery is brand new (replaced week
    ago)
    It didn't change a thing...

    Hi,
    Check poor ground connection on affected circuits.

    Why was your battery replaced? Because charging system is
    not working properly? The only way to answer Tony Hwang's
    question is to measure vehicle system voltage. New battery
    would not solve the problem. Defective battery would be
    another symptom of that same problem.

    Problem existed for a while (about a year)
    I don't think battery would work for that long with bad charging system...

    Battery was 4.5 years old and it just died last week. I replaced it with new
    one.
    So, I don't think its related....

    Granted we are speculating without sufficient information.
    But a few facts. Delay of lights and delay of wipers would
    involve separate electrical systems or relays. The only
    common factor would be the system voltage.

    BTW, my Honda batteries never lasted less than 7 years even
    when always parked outside. Last battery went something over
    nine years. It may just be me. But still, until system
    voltage reading are taken with a digital multimeter (with
    engine off, with engine on, and with engine on and every
    peripheral on), then we cannot eliminate system voltage
    (charging system) from a list of possibilities. System
    voltage is the one common factor to 'strange' symptoms.

    Thanks.

    Will check voltage first to make sure.

    BTW, you probably use good batteries. Any battery I bought (and I buy
    cheaper batteeries) never lasted more then 5-6 years...

    In every case, the battery was original from Honda. One was
    even a Delco battery.

    Do be sure to report back. Your's is an interesting
    problem.
