I was driving home from work and all the sudden my car just suddenly died. I was going about 45 so I just put it in neutral and restarted it just fine. I kept driving and noticed my "brake lamp" came on after I restarted it. A few minutes later it did the same thing. Anyone have any ideas???

 

Auto? 6MT?

 

Auto. It's a 1998 CL I have only owned it about 3 weeks now.

 

Oh, this is the second gen side. You need to be in the first gen side.

Welcome to the forums.

 

My $ is on the Main Relay.

Check this thread:

I had issues with it in a 1998 Honda Accord several years back. Also had the same relay in my '01 CL. Car wouldn't start on hot days, so I got the relay out, soldered a couple of points on the circuit board and everything was fine for about 4 years... Til about 2 months ago, car shut off while I was driving (and brake light on). Replaced it with a new one and no problems since then.

Good luck.

 

^ . 1st gen. cl owners have had issues with the relay, i think its the one in the steering column. a bad ignition coil can give similar issues but id try the relay 1st.
