Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 2008electrical problems after cleaning windows
Hello, I have a 93 honda accord ex, 4D sedan. yesterday my car was working fine. today, i wiped my car windows, all of them, with a wet sponge. so obviously some water dripped downward, but not a lot, it's not like a drenched my car with a hose. i then tried to turn my car on, and it was as if i didn't have a battery. it didn't make a sound, radio was dead, no lights anywhere. about 1-1/2 hrs later, i tried it again, and it started, everything was normal. i'm guessing it couldn't have been the water, it's too little, and could water going down any of the windows cause these symptoms? > Hello, I have a 93 honda accord ex, 4D sedan. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > i'm guessing it couldn't have been the water, it's too little, and > could water going down any of the windows cause these symptoms? ======================= Your battery terminals (or the ground lug at the far end of the black one) are loose or corroded. Those kind of problems are temperature sensitive, as is the Main Relay problem. That's why it worked OK later after the temperature changed. Yours is probably a loose terminal.

This time it was as if the battery was not connected at all, nothing lit up. When it started working 1-1/2 hrs later, I turned on the radio, and had to reenter the security code so that confirms a disconnection. It was not hot, parked in the shade. However, I changed the battery today because it was showing less than 12 volts and it's more than 3 years old and I just want to rule out a bad battery. When I took out the old battery, I noticed that the terminals were snug, and there was no corrosion, I usually clean them periodically. I'm don't think there's a disconnection at the battery, any suggestions on where else I could look. >> Your battery terminals (or the ground lug at the far end of the black >> one) are loose or corroded.
