Herein lies your answer



I don’t know what caused the fault, as I have no access to the car to diagnose it.

kingreign:

He bypassed some wires. This is quite dangerous as it could cause other damages and even electrical fires. Please call him to rectify the issue as it ought to be.

Good evening House!...

I have an ISSUE!!!

The car is a 2001 Honda Odyssey.

While driving yesterday, the car engine suddenly went off...but all the lights on the dashboard and the radio/headlamps were still working.

I had to clear from the road, and tried starting it again.
When I turned the key, there was no response.
The engine doesn't start or revolve...but the lights on the dashboard were showing.
I had to leave it.

This morning, I called an auto-electrician to check it.
In the process, he turned on the ignition with the key from inside, then he came out, opened the bonnet and attached a wire to the kick starter and touched it on the battery terminal and the Engine started without hesitation.
He then put the engine off, loosed the cover under the steering and did some wire cut-and-join connections and the car was able to start NORMALLY from the inside.

I paid and he left.

I drove the car to work and came back this evening without any issue.

This night I wanted to go out, and when I turned the ignition, the car failed to start(no engine crank) but I noticed a noise, I opened the bonnet and something attached to the kick-starter was making a continuous sound (like a fan on high speed).

I turned of the ignition immediately and removed the key, but the thing was still revolving.
I then had to disconnect the battery terminals and it stopped.

I just called the electrician and complained.
He said he will come tommorrow and check.

I have a feeling that something isn't right with the work he did. Maybe he did some bypass and now it's backfiring.

What could be the possible initial issue with my car before the electrician did this job?

Please I need Expert Advice now so that I can be equipped to face him tommorrow

Sir, Do I have to CHANGE this entire component for the horn to start working or is it fixable?

Okay Sir...thanks.

So this is likely the Culprit?

Any idea of the cost?

Since you checked and saw that the fuses and wiring are okay it simply means you need new horns. Go and buy tokumbo ones (not new ones oh) and install them.

Horns go bad from time to time especially on older vehicles

WycliffeSMB:
Good day House.

The HORN of my 2001 Honda Odyssey suddenly stopped working two days ago.


I checked the Horn fuse and Relay in the fusebox located in the Engine compartment and both components are not faulty.

Pls, is there anything else I can do on my own to resolve this issue?

N/B: This has happened before in the past... At intervals.
Sometimes it stops, and starts working Again on it's own without any fix.
But this time seems longer as it's over two days now.

I'd appreciate if anyone can outline the current options for payment on AliExpress.

MedicH:


i did my first time 2k then i bought my scanner from aliexpress 1k

MedicH:


the bulb is dead or somebody have used a black celotape to cover it. Scan your car for codes then inspect your instrument cluster. It is almost impossible for 02 sensors to be disconnected and their wont be check engine light unless the ECU is bad. Once the upstream sensors are disconnected, ur fuel consumption is as high as plus 40% talking from experience.
