1995 Honda Civic Electrical system Problems

“I was stopped due to a red traffic light when I noticed smoked coming out behind the steering wheel, at the same time the dash lights were also flickering/ fluctuating. I managed to pull over quickly to a parking lot and shut of the engine. I had it towed to a mechanic. The diagnosis was a faulty electrical ignition switch.”

“I noticed that my low-beam headlights were not working. However, the high beams and parking lights worked. I attempted to replace a bulb and noticed that the plastic electrical connection to both headlights had melted.”

“I was accelerating while driving and my car suddenly shut off. I only had power to my radio and headlights. I had to switch on my hazards, put my car in park. I turned it off and back on and it started right back up- but had I of been on the freeway I would have been hit. I had my 2 year old son in the car with me. I immediately turned around to go home and it happened once again on the way back (luckily I took side streets home) turned out to be the ignition switch, but the shop is telling me the whole thing needs to be replaced.”

“95 Honda Civic sedan 4 door stalls while driving at any speed also is getting harder to start. Also stalls when not moving also. You can drive 10 feet or a few miles depending upon the outside temp. And weather conditions. When the car is cold it will stall and you have to weight approx. 5-30minutes for it to restart. If the weather is hot it stalls very quickly and takes approx. 3-4 hours to restart. We have replaced the fuel pump, fuel pump screen, fuel pump relay, fuel injector relay, distributor cap, rotor, igniter and condenser and it still stalls. …”

“While the vehicle was parked in driveway for about 30-45 minutes, it caught on fire and burned up. Owner not sure what started the fire. Fire was put out by fire department. Also driver's seat belt failed to retract.”
