Re: 94 Accord electric problems..
Problem existed for a while (about a year)
I don't think battery would work for that long with bad charging system...
Battery was 4.5 years old and it just died last week. I replaced it with new
one.
So, I don't think its related....

Re: 94 Accord electric problems..
Granted we are speculating without sufficient information.
But a few facts. Delay of lights and delay of wipers would
involve separate electrical systems or relays. The only
common factor would be the system voltage.
BTW, my Honda batteries never lasted less than 7 years even
when always parked outside. Last battery went something over
nine years. It may just be me. But still, until system
voltage reading are taken with a digital multimeter (with
engine off, with engine on, and with engine on and every
peripheral on), then we cannot eliminate system voltage
(charging system) from a list of possibilities. System
voltage is the one common factor to 'strange' symptoms.

Re: 94 Accord electric problems..
Thanks.
Will check voltage first to make sure.
BTW, you probably use good batteries. Any battery I bought (and I buy
cheaper batteeries) never lasted more then 5-6 years...

Re: 94 Accord electric problems..
In every case, the battery was original from Honda. One was
even a Delco battery.
Do be sure to report back. Your's is an interesting
problem.
