wow car just died in my driveway

[silkyPimP]

umm went out side (here in new olreans its like 100) and the car was very hot, had just drove it 3 hours ago and i went to turn the key and POP the gauges go dim and the car dies
i think wow that sounded like a bunch of fuses or somthing hopped out and ran to get the keys for my truck (im late for work) and then after i started the truck i needed my glasses in the civic, tried to start it again and everything powerwise came on then when i crank it it just pops every 5 seconds
no time to look at it now
damn!

Agreed, try boosting the Civic with your truck first.

wow what the hell
ok its not the battery just got home and it started right up and the green dot on the battery was fine
all power was on alarm,horn,lights,radio
BUT the DRL were out tried to look at the fuse and couldnt get it out and its hot as hell out
car drove fine
DRL only thing not working now
and under the main fuse box in the engine on of the large light green fuse (big green fuse) was cracked/blown looked burnt it isnt labled what that is exactly
im towing the car to honda tomorrow i dont want to drive it and get stuck

well the blown fuses probably have something to do with it, so you have an idea what half the problem is. Unfortunately there could be a short somewhere in the electrical system

k thanks
any idea what those massive unmarked green fuses are?
blah well ill see whats up tomorrow

[ethlar]

those large ones usually protect the major power conduits starter and things of that nature

your manual should have info in it for the fuses, or the underside of the fuse panel under the hood
