Hybrid Honda civic 2005 
Solved
Honda Civic 2005 150000 miles
Suddenly many functions stopped working: the alarm is out of order, the door locks do not respond to their button, the interior light turns on at any moment, the hybrid system seems to be always discharged, leds from the gears flicker, the entrance for the scanner doens't work and even the stereo turns off. There are no burnt fuses, any idea what it may be?

Open the hood or bonnet and there you will find some other fuses. There is one called "backup" or something similar. That one usually burns out.

Thank you earnest. Checked that and the problem is: fuse that I introduce, it is burnt out.

You must have a short circuit in the wiring. Is there something you have recently installed on your car? That could be the cause.

The last installation was the scanner and it is not working since then. The short circuit could be in its plug, right earnest?

Most probably. You should check whether it is damaged or shorted, otherwise you'll have to change the scanner connector.

You were right, there was a short circuit in the connector. Thanks for your help.

CommentGround strap to battery has voltage on it. Solved
Honda Civic 1998 Ex coupe 260000 miles
While driving on the freeway I noticed the engine light was blinking, but only three blinks then a pause of about 20 seconds then 3 more blinks. At that point I had been driving a total of about 7 minutes. Roughly 4 off and 3 or so on the freeway. The car drove fine this whole time/ nothing to make me even think of the light coming on so I kept driving (about 15 more minutes home) knowing that it's not what's is suggested. Anyhow I got home went in to eat and came out to hook up my scanner (Autel AL519) will no luck. I started the car to collect info on scanner of live feed, but the scanner do… Read complete

Best answer (according to Energized Ground Strap)
Energized Ground Strap from United States 6 months ago
After a long week of testing circuits and searching for a grounded wire somewhere I had the electrical hooked back up with just the alternator unhooked. Once I hooked that up it caused the voltage on the ground strap to rise and become stronger. So I replaced the alternator and that fixed the energized ground strap issue. I have an idle issue now along with strange driving conditions so I'm waiting to see if it throws a code for something failing. I've driven almost 200 miles though so I'm not sure if a code is going to be presented.
CommentNew battery, lights and radio come on.
Honda Civic 2000 4 cylinder LX 123000 miles
I just put a new battery in my LX and it still won't start. I listened for sounds, no clicks. All of the dash warning lights, headlights, radio, and even AC come on when I turn the key, but no vroom vroom. Strange thing is the hazards lights start blinking and won't go off, not even when I turn the car off. After wiggling the turn signal stick a little and pressing the hazard button in a few times it cuts off. But when I open the door of the car the hazards come on again, and are accompanied by ding ding sound like when door is ajar--even after door is shut. I was thinking electrical problem

It turns out that the previous owners had a type of after market alarm system that was also equipped with a type of fail start button installed in the car. So the car will only start after either the button is pushed or the alarm is disabled.
CommentWant to buy an Honda Civic
Honda Civic 2005 138000 miles
Hi everyone. I want to buy an Honda Civic LX 2005 1.7, 4 doors. I would like it to last at least 5 years, does anyone know if this model resists long distances (300km nonstop) and around 8 hours of daily usage? Thank you for your advise.

I have that same car and it is a good one. Overheating has been my only problem, but its cause can vary from the radiator plug to the cylinder head gasket. Like with any other vehicle, if you have money for the service, there is a solution to every failure.
Thank you, vick28. I have already bought and tried it, and the only inconvenience I've found is on unpaved uphill roads. The car does not respond properly at low rpm, I need to speed it up in order to gain strenght, but on those roads high speeds are not possible. Has this ever happened to you?
Remember that these are cars designed for the city and long journeys due to its 1.7 engine. I have never driven it along an unpaved uphill road, but the best option would be to do it in L (Low) so that you do not force the engine.

When you lower the front windows to clear the water on them they just come back up with the water on them. On my old golf the windows came up clean.

Interior light
Honda Civic 2004 Sedan 40000 miles
Vehicle does not have dome switch that you can set for door open control.
Lights only work when the button on the dome light is pushed. Is the 2004 civic supposed to have this switch?
