Top 20 2001 Honda Civic Questions & Answers

That is symptomatic of a power steering pump problem. Get a length of plastic tube and put one end to your ear and the other end by the steering pump and then by the alternator. A tube stethoscope is great for tracing noises. Mine whined when it was low of fluid, I had a leaking pipe.

It's not a common issue! Could be so many things. You start off with the warning lights!

When you have a check engine light, there are codes stored. That's where you start--with the codes

if it's not the switch, probably a relay

yes it should fit as 1.4 & 1.6 uses the same engine block.

try changing the spark plugs

They are held into the dash with plastic "spring" out retainers on the dash register. Use a thin blade like a putty knife to disengage the locks.

The wiper and washer motors us the same fuse. So if the wipers work, it's not the fuse. The washer motor wiring, the top wire is voltage, bottom wire is ground. As you can see, at the wiper/washer switch, #5 sends voltage for washer motor, you can see the wire colors. If good voltage and ground and no washer action suspect the washer motor. Before replacing anything, make sure the plumbing from washer fluid to windshield is not clogged.

the fan is not operating properly if it is a viscous fan hub( fan clutch ) replace it if electric fans check the relay/s and coolany temperature sensor for correct operation chweck all wires for continuity and connection faults

You removed the AC compressor? DId you block it in like A-6 compressors or just open the system? If you did not block it in, then you are required to flush the whole system replace the R/D or dessicant and check the OT or EV. Then you add the oil or seal and add oil charge and evac it and then charge it. This is not going to be cheap. You could have just R/R the clutch without taking the compressor off.

yes each door has an actuator. my guess would lead more towards the wiring than the actuator though. you will ave some time testing to see where the power ends and go from there.

Well, if it works with another ground strap to it. then use it like that. At least you are good to go and have AC for the summer.

You mean drive shaft?100lbs.

Manual or automatic.

Check your power steering fluid to see if it is low. Also look to see if it looks like the belt is slipping. You may have a power steering pump that is failing.

Over heating the engine is a serious concern. With the hood raised you should hear the motorized fan turn on just behind the radiator as the engine requires additional cooling.. If you look in from the rear of the radiator you should see the fan blades. This electric powered motor operates on a thermostat and when the engine temperature rises this fan should come on. I'm assuming from your description that when driving and air is flowing through the radiator as the car travels the engine is nor overheating. Check fan motor thermostat, check fan motor and check wiring.

Have the battery tested with a carbon high discharge tester, if its ok check for a light in the glove box or rear trunk that is staying on due to a faulty switch. or you could disconnect the battery , if it goes flat it is faulty, if it stays ok a light or something is running it down.
