My wife took our 2003 CRV out for a drive recently, she went about 20 miles, stopped at a local store. She came out about 10 minutes later, try to start the vehicle but it would not go. She got a jump start which got her going, the person who jump started the vehicle checked the battery with a voltage meter. He told my wife that the battery wasn't charging, he suggested a new battery. She and I have both started the vehicle since that break down successfully.
My wife has said that sometimes the radio losses the station when she goes over a bump, I think that there is a wire loose somewhere in the ignition-starter system. I will take it to our Honda shop near by but I am curious about the possible cause of this situation. I read in the owner's manual that other metal keys or metal wires near the ignition key can effect starting.

The CRV-EX started this morning without a problem, it sat out all night.
I took off both battery cables, they were not on very tight to the battery posts. I cleaned both battery posts and put the cables back on more tightly.
Next, I pulled on the car battery including the battery tray. The brace over the battery attached to the body of the car was not tight, I checked the back attachment which has a nut on top of a longer rod, that was not tight. I secured both attachments tight, I started the vehicle pulled off the postive battery cable from it's post and the car kept running.
Thanks very much your help.

Understand the the battery stores voltage, The alt generate elect. The car accually runs off the alt. That is why with the car running if you remove the +bat terminal and the car dies the alt is bad. It would indicate the car is running off of stored elect in the battery. Did that make sense. Next for the other issues. I have found that the majority of elec problems come down to a dirty, loose ground connections, broken wire or a shorted wire to ground. Because the radio acts up on bumps i would spend the time to check all common ground frist. Neg Bat to gropund (cable). Engine to frame, and some cases body to frame. I`m thinking this will resolve the issue. Have fun day.

i do not recognize, it purely got here out and by no potential sufficient information is provided. the previous fashions, i might want to assert is okay automobile. 2000 fashions had valve hollow tightening up issue. and do not see the common sense in utilizing timing belt for SUV. Nosier, yet timing chain must be used on automobiles like this. Is 4 WD, yet is computerized 4 wheel drive - which kicks in even as laptop sees the favor. ok, then how the heck do i recognize no matter if that is operating impressive?

your prblem sounds like a loose alternator belt or the alt is on its way out you should have the car looked at because if the alt is bad it can drain the battery and you will have to replace both
