These cars steal some electricity when they are parked. If you open the door, it draws 5 A. With the small battery you have, it quickly runs out. If the battery voltage drops below 12v, you will get a whole bunch of error codes. Just mention it, as I have experienced this myself. My car stood for a little over a week, when I was about to start it I only heard a click from the starting relay, and the dashboard flashed in all lights. Then I measured the voltage to 11.7v. And 8 error codes I think I found afterwards. I top-charged the battery and deleted the error codes, and everything was fine. My tip is that you at least have a proper battery with enough Ah in the car while looking for faults.

Do not think you understood what I meant. Porsche sold these cars with 70-90 Ah battery, not 30 Ah. Probably for a reason.

so two 7.5 fuses decided to just jump out my fuse box and run off. Now the car starts just fine after replacing. Still runs like crap tho. But much better. (! Is for brake light)

Gave up on the 997 and starting a dirt bike project? Why is the 997 squished up against the fence? That bike also looks like it nerds some work, starting eith the rusty chain.

Theres no giving up now. The bike is a cheap fix until tori is back. I also don't trust the civic as far as i can throw it. Already left me stranded once 🤦🏻‍♂️

All those electrical faults and nothing going through the box would point to a bad ground.

Honda, bike, what's next, a weed eater?
