1999 accord stalling issue (solved)95Z71 02-25-2008, 07:24 AM I started asking on another thread about the car stalling in drive. But I though it was worth posting again in a new thread if it helps anybody solve there stalling problems. We have a 99 accord that would stall whenever it wanted. To make a long story short I was told by the dealed it was the aftermarket autostart. While removing the autostart I had the key on but the car was not running I was wiggling the wires that come from the ignition swtich. The relay clicked and the dashlights flickered so I new I was on to something. I removed trhe switch from the car and set it in the "run"position with a screw driver and hooked a multi meter to the black and white wires to complete the loop. I wiggled the wires around once again and the meter was jumping all over the place showing the switch was bad.This switch was already replaced by the dealer under recall. QUESTION> SHOULD THE DEALER BE ON THE HOOK FOR THE NEW SWITCH AND SHOULD THEY HAVE TO REIMBERSE ME FOR THE 100.00 DIAGNOSIS THAT WAS INCORRECT?? I am not going to bother trying to get them for the 250.00 auto start that I had to remove on there diagnosis. 95Z71 02-25-2008, 11:56 AM UPDATE: The dealer agreed to replace the ignition switch again and reimburse me for the mis- diagnosed autostart. I did not try to get them to replace the autostart, I think they are more trouble than there worth anyway. So, If you have an accord that stalls even after the ignition recall it may be the switch again. I will update this post when I get the car back and it has been driven for a while to se if there are any more stalling issues. 95Z71 03-06-2008, 06:43 AM Well, We have had the car back for about a month and no stalling. So if your are having trouble similar to this I would recommend taking the lower cover off the steering colum and take a good look at the ignition switch wires Give them a wiggle with the car running and see if it stalls. I worked for me after months (and 4 trips to the dealer/shop) of going crazy trying to figure it out. -95Z vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
