problem #1

Apr 112016

Civic EX 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 161,000 miles

At first the car would not start and then was told the alternator was over charging. Had alternator and battery replaced and then the battery light would come on but only when driving between 20 to 70 MPH. Took to John Hinderer Honda in Heath, Ohio and their "technician'" (and I use that term loosely) said the wiring harness had been spliced into and it needed a new wiring harness. They never checked the ECM or PCM and NOW I have no speedometer or cruise or tachometer and the dash lights are going crazy and the check engine light comes on and goes off.
