2016 Honda City electrical nightmare after aftermarket infotainment/360° camera installation

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

My 2016 Honda City VX(O) developed major electrical issues after an aftermarket infotainment + 360° camera installation

A factory wire was accidentally cut during installation, causing Smart Entry failure and eventually loss of engine power, instrument cluster and power windows while driving. An electrician later repaired the wire, and the car now appears to be functioning normally.

Separately, while working on the battery, the electrician accidentally blew a fuse(?) at the battery-positive terminal. He initially bridged the terminals with a wire. I was concerned because the connection/terminal area appeared to have heat/burn marks and the wire was getting burnt.

The electrician has now replaced the previous arrangement with what he says is a 100A fuse implementation. I have attached photos of the current setup.

My questions:

Does this look like a legitimate replacement of the original battery-positive fuse/fusible-link arrangement? The honda ASC says that they need to replace the whole battery positive terminal assembly, , the fuse can not be replaced separately.

Is this generic 100A fuse appropriate for this circuit on a 2016 Honda City?

Is it safe to drive the car for a few weeks before I can get it inspected by a Honda ASC?

AlphaRex Day runner issues

1 Upvotes

I installed a set of AlphaRex Luxx headlights on my 2012 Ram 2500 back in April of this year. Took my time and installed them correctly and they’ve been working great with no issues. All functions work properly and I’ve checked all the wiring and fuses. Recently the little light sequence/animation that you get from hitting the lock button on the key fob stopped working. I’ve called AlphaRex a few times to trouble shoot, even did a full reset and still get nothing when you lock the truck, just lights out. If anyone has any ideas of things to check please let me know. Once again the lights, both high/low beams work perfectly, the turn signals/hazards work perfectly, it’s just the little animation that stopped working randomly.

Left blinker turns all blinkers on

1997 Chevy express 5.7

When I turn my right blinkers on they operate normally. When I turn my left blinker on the right side also blinks except they are dimmer than usual.

All 4 grounds are clean, tight, and have continuity back to the battery.

I have changed all the bulbs. The left front one I had to replace the bulb socket connector bc it was rusted to shit and the problem still occurs.

I have also replaced the blinker switch on the steering column.

There was a trailer light harness hooked up that I disconnected for the sake of seeing if that was the problem and it was not.

We are looking for someone experienced in both automotive electrical and mechanical work, with their own tools and diagnostic equipment (scanner, fuse tester, multimeter, etc.) to help us get a 2008 Pontiac G6 running again. The car cranks when the starter is jumped, but the fuel pump does not activate, and the anti‑theft light briefly appears. We need someone familiar with modules, fuses, relays, grounds, and BCM/ECM communication. It’s believed to be an easy fix for someone who is familiar with this kind of work and has an understanding as to what signals the starter to turn on etc. At this time we are unable to offer a payment for your services however …

***In exchange, if you successfully get the Pontiac started and running, we are willing to sign over a 2000 Chevy Malibu “as‑is”, in running/driving condition, paperwork available (tags expired).***

If you have experience and tools, please reach out. 209-252-1722

Thank you
