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.

CommentStalls in high revolution ranges Solved
Honda Civic 2000 250000 miles
My car stalls out of the blue, almost every day. The curious thing about it is that since I've bought it, the check engine light has been turned on, and when it fails this light turns off, just as if the computer was reset for some minutes. When the vehicle stalls, I open the switch and check whether all the lights are on, the only case in which the car starts again. Many times it happens that I open the switch and all the lights but the check engine one are turned on, and then the engine won't start. The scanner has been connected but no code is released (only the ABS code and the Catalytic converter one). Hope someone can help me, thanks.

If the check engine light is on it means that there is some sensor which is damaged, but apparently not causing any failure in your vehicle. On the other hand, if it is off it means that the computer is not opening and thus not sending either spark nor fuel. This failure is not provided by the scanner. Now, as the computer recibes a signal from a fuse and has got a relay, you should first check this two things. After doing so, you should take out the computer and try with a different one.
Thanks, sylvester, it is just as you describe it. It seems as though the problem was the computer. It has been scanned, the computer feeding checked and apparently everything is now ok. I really don't know which was the exact solution, but it has not failed again. Thank you so much.

I can get the radio and CD and Aux to work sometimes but mostly not working. The CD player actually plays the disc but no sound. When I start the car it shows 'RADIO 1' with a telephone symbol. As soon as i press any button on the device it immediately changes the display to '1 AF ON' with the telephone symbol but nothing works when pressed and no sound. The Central locking sometimes stops working but opens with the key. I also looked at the dashboard layout with the ignition on for about 15 to 20 minutes and the car would not turn over. But after another 5 to 10 minutes suddenly worked fine.… Read complete

It sounds like there could be a few different issues with your Honda Civic. The radio and CD player not working, the central locking system malfunctioning, and the battery issues could all be related or separate problems.
It is possible that the battery with dead cells is causing the electrical problems in the vehicle, including the radio and CD player, and the central locking system. If the battery is weak, it may not be providing enough power to all of the electrical components, which can result in them not functioning properly.
However, it is also possible that there is a separate issue with the electrical system, such as a wiring problem, a blown fuse, or a problem with the alternator. In this case, a new battery would not solve the problem.
I would recommend having a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose the issue and recommend the necessary repairs. They can perform a full electrical system check to determine the root cause of the problem and ensure that all of the components are functioning properly.

Thanks Bruce. I will get it checked out before it gets worse.
This is happening to me. I had starter, battery, alternator replaced and ignition control module. It still is wonky. It goes from am to FM to aux, to not working to turning on and it being very loud and it just beeps and beeps. It's crazy. I believe it's another faulty ignition control module. But the dealership won't even consider it being that. I explained to them that when they first put it in it worked great and after a day it's bad again and now my key fob with new battery does not lock/unlock my car. They key works great but that's my issue. I only have 134k miles.

Take it to the dealership for a quick check maybe an oil change and they should be able to reset and check if it was giving false codes to show check engines lights on, sometimes it's just the gas cap wasn't turned past three clicks.

My ABS kicks in just as it should but when it does, I get a noise that sounds almost like a pump not working...the noise quits as soon as I let off the brakes. Any ideas?
