Honda CRV won't start on first try

70

Asked by PoppaBear52 Apr 26, 2020 at 04:08 PM about the 2014 Honda CR-V LX AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2014 Honda CRV does not always start on the first (or sometimes
second and third) try. Dashboard lights come on, no sounds, no clicking, but
no engine crank. Will work fine and start up on the second, third or fourth try.
Problem is very intermittent and seems to have no real pattern. But, it never
fails to start on the first try after it sets in the garage overnight.
My mechanic changed the relay under the steering column and that seemed
to fix this problem for about a week, then the problem returned again.

I can ask my mechanic to investigate the relay as possible source. But, he really believes it's the starter as he's seen similar problems with the Honda Accord, same year ('14). Thank you!!
