What's going on with my Lude's electronics? - Honda Prelude Forum

Recently I have been having a few issues.

First off my dash lights have been acting up. My tachometer will light up when I have my lights on, but my speedometer will stay out, but then usually within about 5-10 mins, magically turn back on.

Also I have noticed my sunroof does not open or close as fast. My suspicion is that the motor that opens the sunroof isn't getting as much voltage to it.

Possible blown fuse?

Any input?

usually slowing down windows or sunroof etc is indicator of the alternator going bad.

I have the same issue with the speedo, Dead for 5 mins then kicks back in, just enough for a check engine light. Really sucks, I've had it fixed several times but it keeps going back. I'm just chalking it up to chronic problem that will never be fixed.

^ What was your proposed method of fixing it at the time?

checked the wiring of from the harness. There was a spot that wasn't getting a good connection so I stripped and improved the connection. that worked but then started messing up again. Previously it was a jumpy speedo all the time, now just dead then work fine after a few minutes. It's weird that it only does it in the morning and is fine for rest of day.
