Lude Generation

Ok peeps, yet another annoying problem on my Gen5

Every now and then when you turn the key, nothing lights up.
The radio comes on, the fans work. But no dash warking lights. I can start the car but it imediatly cuts out again. Its even done it while I was driving
Its realy annoying as the battery terminal was loose so cleaned it all up and tightened it, just had the bottom of the dash off and checked all the plugs on the back of the ignition and every thing seems ok.

Any advice ???

checked all your fuses?

This wouldn't be the ignition barrel fault again would it?

sounds alot like the ignition barrel to me aswell, never had any troubles since fitting the new barrel and it didnt take that long to swap out, on a 4th gen that is but it cant be too much different.

My 2000 accord had a recall for a faulty ignition barrel a good few years ago. Did this recall apply to 5 gens of the same time I wonder?

It did, but honda garages seem to be hit and miss

you might have to get pushy with some garages

Thanks peeps. It doesnt seem to bad at the mo but going to get one asap I think
