Hi all,
Still in a mess with a dead Honda, difficulties fixing up the SVT, etc. I posted a WTB ad for an IMRC, but that's secondary. I need to get my SVT started first, and I can't !!!
1998.5 SVT, mothballed for about 3 years. When I last tinkered with it (14 months ago?), the battery was dying and wouldn't hold a charge.
Bought a new battery last evening, just now got it installed . . . . turned the key and . . . . NOTHING. Not one click from the starter, no headlights, no dash lights . . . absolutely nothing anywhere.
What things should be checked (besides the obvious, like battery connections etc.), and what would be the most sensible order to check them ?
I thought of the fusible link, but I don't know where it is. I have no manual other than the factory booklet, but after I post this, I'll google some things online.
I opened the power distribution module (front of engine bay on driver's side), and it's missing some kind of resistor or something .... fairly large, judging from the socket holes. The only reference I have to ID it is on the simple schematic inside the module cover, which only ID's it as "R1". Maybe one of you has access to info that would indicate the real description and specs for the item.
Other than the above, I'm not sure what to try. I'm good with quite a bit of car stuff, but I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to ignition problems and electrical stuff.
Any info, suggestions etc. greatly appreciated. My Honda is dead, and I'm already beyond sick of taking the Metro trains and taxis to get to work and back home :S
Thanks in advance !
