NSX won't start.

[Chu_Viet]

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section.

My NSX is an 91 auto to manual tranny swap with 81k miles. I drove around today and when I got home and tried to start again.. it started then died out. when I try to start it again, nothing happens.. battery seems fine.. but when I turn the key to "on" all I hear is a rapid clicking noise right in back of my seat.. it's coming from the main relay I believe.. what is causing this? Thanks in advance.

oh and I can't roll my windows back up.

could a main relay stop the car window from rolling up? and headlights from popping up?

Do a search =D There is a thread recently here: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/147409-NSX-won-t-start

Sounds like Main Relay. Costs like $70. If not, then ignition switch, but not likely since this is like a *sudden death* thing. Good Luck!!

I've done a search, his problem seems different from mine's. My main relay rapidly clicks.

Make sure your battery connection nodes are nice and tight.

that means you have no power...... sand the connections for the battery. If not maybe your alternator is shot and didn't charge the battery on your last drive.

Check all of your grounds. Did you put the ground back on the transmission?

Hm.. Got back in this morning and the relay was still rapidly clicking.. But slowly then it stops and fires up! I ordered a new relay.. Hopefully thats the problem.

Its not the relay, you have a bad battery or bad battery connections or other bad connections.
