Honda or Acura Vehicles – Possible Car Electrical Problems

The starter takes electricity from your battery and uses it to start the engine. If it’s gone bad, here’s how you’ll know:

  • When you turn the key, you’ll get a click-click-click noise
  • Your dash lights and radio will come on, but the engine won’t turn over
  • Even jump-starting won’t get your vehicle to turn over

The battery needs replacing every four to five years, possibly less if you park outside during the winter. Its job is to power the starter and it’s recharged by the alternator. Dying battery symptoms include:

  • First, it will take longer and longer for your Acura engine to crank on
  • When starting the car, you’ll hear a low whining sound
  • Your car doesn’t start and the dash lights or other electrical doesn’t turn on
  • A jump start gets you going one day, but it won’t start the next

The alternator uses electromagnetism and other technical stuff to send electricity back to your battery so it’s ready to provide power for the next engine start. Signs a car alternator is failing:

  • Your headlights and dash lights or gauges flicker or get extra dim
  • You can jump-start your car, even drive a few miles but the engine dies
  • A growling sound or other odd grinding or whining noises
  • If it is overheating, you may notice the distinct smell of burning rubber or wires
  • And of course, an ALT or GEN light illuminates on your dash
