I've done lots and lots of research. I have been searching for weeks and spent a lot trying to fix my issue....
I bought a riced out civic from Cali and brought it up north with me. Everything was working perfectly.Took body kit off, underbody lights, push-start button. and all the useless toggle switches that went to the underbody lights and some went to nothing at all.
Everything worked good for a couple weeks, Then all of a sudden the car died, won't hold a charge. but the battery and alt are good. It's like something keeps draining the battery. Then all of a sudden the car would jump RPMS. 700 rpms at idle and then bounce from 700-2400 over and over again. The radio stopped working as well.
I was getting upset, couldn't figure it out. I flipped a toggle switch that PO had wired to the fan in the engine bay (haven't got a new plug yet to wire it back into the stock plug. and WOULDNT YOU BELIEVE IT, The RPM bounce stopped and the radio turned on. So I tuned toggle switch off, and the radio turned off and RPM started to bounce again.....
The gauge cluster also won't light up, check engine, srs, brake light and all those work just fine. but the backlight won't work. I changed all fuses, dimmer switch, and the main headlight switch. but nothing.
So I even swapped in a known working gauge cluster and still, NOTHING..
I have a full parts car. Could I pull the dash and swap all the wiring over? or would it be too hard?
