Rep Power: 0 Got a 2002 Honda Civic
Hello Guys. I am new here. Glad to find this forum. I just bought a 2002 Honda civic EX with 77K miles. A few questions about this car:
1. The rear window defogger doesn't work. check the resistance between 2 sides of the grid, is closed to 0. When turn on the defogger, the voltage between 2 sides is 0. Then i check the #11 fuse in underhood fuse box, the fuse is good. I don't know what is the problem and what else i can check to find the problem.
2. When i rotate the steering wheel, there is some weired sound, like the sound of clicking mouse, not really loud, it happens about rotate 1 circle. Is it normal?
3. When the car goes near 70mph and 3k rpm, the steering wheel is starting shaking, turning by itself left and right about 1/4 inch. then better beyond 80 mph. What is the reason about this? I didn't change the tires and the old tires are almost done. So changing new tires and doing 4 wheel alignment can fix it?
I love this car, but i am concerning about these problems. Hope someone can help me. really appreciate.

The clicking and shaking sounds like you have a cv/axle shaft going out

New tires and an alignment can't hurt, though.

bad wheel balance or bad tires (uneven wear, low tread, etc). alignment wouldnt affect shaking but its a good idea to have it done once a year or anytime you change steering and suspension components, including tires.
