At about 80,000 miles I would have an occasional problem starting. I would step on the brake and push starter button and it would fail. If I waited a minute and did it again it would start right up. This would happen once every 2 or 3 weeks and then start right up. My mechanic, who I trust, thought I should replace the starter which I did at 90,000 miles. The issue continues every few weeks. It seems like the issue has something to do with some connection not being made when I step on the brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>First off i want to say that while reading this my initial thoughts were &#8220;STARTER&#8221;. So kudos to your mechanic. But you have already done this and the problem still persists. So lets not stop there. Lets pull up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/wiringdiagrams.html\">wiring diagram<\/a> and take a look to see what else is involved in the circuit. Just as I suspected. This vehicle is equipped with a Starter Relay. It would be the next thing I would try. As for your thoughts of the brake pedal switch, if you can see your brake lights come on when you work the pedal, the switch is fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2014-honda-crosstour-starting-wiring-diagram.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2014-honda-crosstour-starting-wiring-diagram.jpg\" alt=\"2014-honda-crosstour-starting-wiring-diagram\" class=\"wp-image-79178\" width=\"1450\" height=\"682\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a 2014 Honda Crosstour 4WD EXL V6 with 105,000 miles.
