1989 Acura Legend Electrical system Problems

“Since l998 my car has failed to start and after repeated efforts, when the engine has cooled off, it will start unexpectedly. I have even called the aaa and by the time they arrive, the car will start on its own. I have replaced (at my expense) one starter; and the dealership replaced (at their cost) another). In addition, as their suggestion, I disengaged by security system, as it was possible that a short was causing a malfunction, and freezing the engine. The starting problem persists on an on again/off again basis. …”

“Radio goes on and off, bells ring, dash lights go on and off. Vehicle stops. Looks like a dead battery, but is not. It has been in the shop for over three months this time. Neither the honda dealer or an independent dealer can find the problem. Problem is ongoing occurring about every three months. Honda dealer told us car was repaired. We went to pick it up, and it wouldn't start. Had it towed to an independent repair shop. They can't find the problem. This has been ongoing since about three months after we purchased the car in 1998.”

“Vehicle shut down while traveling at hwy speed of 60 MPH. Vehicle taken to an independent repair shop and informed that ignition switch had failed and was replaced. Consumer states vehicle started right up and stalled twice more.”
