I have a 2000 Cr-V LX manual. Recently I had to have the car towed because it would not start. When you put the key in the ignition the light would come on (the ones on the dash), the fan, the radio but there was no engine (as if the cut-off switch was not being acknowledged with the doors unlocking). I left it at the garage and when they went to test it, they pressed the cut-off button and it started right away. They told me it was the cut-off modual that could have had humidity in it and froze. Since the car had been sitting in their garage for about an hour before they tried it, it probably warmed up. Needless to say I used the automatic starter the next day and the car was starting fine. The following day I tried to unlock the doors and start it manually - and the same problem again. All other power and electricity but no engine. I called the guy who installed my auto-starter/cut-off/alarm and he showed me how to bypass the cut-off switch - still nothing, He came over and tried it - nothing. He used a harness to bypass the system and even brought a new ignition switch thinking maybe it was that - same thing. He has a few ideas of what it possibly could be but I want to know if anybody has any ideas. Also, I know it makes sense to use the automatic starter to at least get it running, but the Honda alarm system with auto-start has a safety for manual cars and once you manually unlock the doors to your car without starting it first with the button - it disengages the starter until the next time you stop the car the way it needs to be (I'm sure those of you who have manuals know what I mean). Does anyone have ANY suggestions or have gone through the same thing? Your input would really be appreciated.

Replying to: jimscrv (Feb 12, 2005 6:52 am) The engine has abrubtly cut off twice in the last few weeks (no warning lights). Everything seems to function fine after the engine cuts off (i.e. all the power systems brakes, steering, etc) and once she pulls it over to the side of the road it starts again with no problem. We took it to the dealer where we bought it to get it checked out and they can find nothing wrong (no error codes, and can't reproduce the problem). We're stumped and my wife doesn't feel safe driving the vehicle until we know whats wrong. Anyone have any advice?

HELP! Lately there has been rattling coming from the cargo area of my CRV. As I'm driving, it's really hard to tell where it's coming from, but it sounded like it was from the jack compartment. I've pulled over and took it all out. As I drove again the same rattle was there so it wasn't the jack. I ended up having a friend drive my car while I crawled into the back cargo area to listen for it as we were driving. I narrowed it down to the right rear passenger seatbelt. It's actually inside the wall of the car but when I tug on the seatbelt or even move it, I can hear the rattle. I think it's the seatbelt pully assembly or something. Has anyone else had any problems like that? I would go to the dealer, but you know how that goes...."we can't duplicate the problem".

Two more issues I'm having. My CRV pulls to the right when I accelerate, and my brakes keep squeaking when I come to a stop. My car only has 13,000 miles on it and they replaced the front brake pads once already. They said it was a factory defect because the brake pads, upon inspection, were cracked. They were replaced, but I assured them it wasn't the way I drive because I drive like an old man and I'm only in my 30's! Anyone else have these same problems? Can they be resolved/fixed? I've been tempted to trade it in for another 2005, but I know the dealer won't do that...or will they? (ha).

Hi, This is my first post here, so I hope I am in the right place  I have a 2005 CRV and was told it had a problem with the air conditioner draining last time I had it tuned up (since I could smell a sour odour from the air vents I had them check it). Anyway, they cleaned it out for me, but now it smells a little again, and I wanted to try and clean the darin pan and hose myself if it is easy to get to. Can anyone please let me know where to look on the CRV. I've obviously looked for the location of the 'water drip' under the engine after the a/c has been on, but can't see one since the drain seems to be clogged. I am also wondering if access to the drain plate is freally rom inside the cab (under the dash) and the drain pipe simple goes through the firewall to the engine compartment Thanks for you help Dan |

Replying to: heidi4 (Feb 10, 2006 10:40 am) Honda doesn't make an alarm system with remote starter, at least not in the US. From your description it sure sounds like the remote starter components are the problem. I'd have it replaced or removed. JM2C

Replying to: theracoon (Feb 12, 2006 9:13 am) We attached a wire from the starter directly to the battery and "hot-wired" the car to get it started. It is being played with at a mechanics today and I'll keep you posted on what the culprit is. The alarm system was installed by Honda in Canada. I think it's a sherlock system, but I'd have to double-check. |
