If you have so-called "directional" tires, you moved front-to-back-back-to-front without them changing from one side of the car to the other. Directional tires can't be flipped, which you'd have to do if switching to the other side of the car. I have low-noise tires on one vehicle, for example and can't switch them to another side without having them going in the wrong direction.
 
If you have non-directional tires -- and most are -- move the back ones not only forward but each to the other side of the vehicle. The front tires goe straight back.

How do I know that if the tire is "directional" or "non-directional"?

Most directional tires have a fairly prominent "arrow", inline with the name on the tire..
 
Very few CR-Vs will have directional tires, and not at all likely if they are the stock tires.

headlight issue by theriver

I seem to remember that if I leave the headlights on and turn the car off and remove the key there is a chime to remind me. It seems like the chime has stopped working. Is it a fuse issue? Or was there not ever a chime.

I had the same problem. Check that the dome light comes on when the door is opened. It should be as bright as when other doors are opened.I had one switch that just needed to be remounted. On another occasion, I removed the switch from the door post (a single screw and pulled out gently with wire attached) and sanded the mating surfaces to provide a proper ground to the switch. If this doesn't work, ground the wire directly to the chassis to make sure the wiring is OK. (dome light on bright) If this works but not the switch, test it for continuity and replace if bad. These switches seem to be a week link.

Questions about Add-A-Circuit by budh

Apologies from someone very unfamiliar with the "Add-A-Circuit" (mini size in my case - see http://www.littelfuse.com/data/en/Data_Sheets/FHM02FHA02.pdf - to be installed into a new Hyundai sedan) and how to install and use it.
 
1. Does the single red wire contain only the positive wire, or is somehow the ground wire also part of that red wire?
 
2. What kind of female connector is on the end of that red wire? And what kind of male connector is required to connect into it? What tools/supplies/directions would be needed for installing the right connectors needed?
 
I have a GPS unit and radar detector to hard wire and neither have the type of connector that would fit into the end of the red wire on the Add-A-Circuit.
 
Thanks in advance for any advice and assistance or even to be pointed in right direction for this information.

2004 Honda CRV Service Manual by washby

I was wondering where I could get a 2004 Honda CRV Service Manual i looked on http://www.handa-accessories.com/ and they only had the 2005-2006 service manual and the 2007-2009 service manual. I would like to make sure that it is understood that I want the ACTUAL SERVICE MANUAL that honda technicians have not that crap haynes (blue and yellow book) put out or one of those companies. This is the ACTUAL SERVICE MANUAL that you cannot buy at the autozone or the dealership. I would really appreciate help in finding one. Thanks.

Helm has a service manual for $70. Looks to be the real thing.

The red wire is only the "hot" or "positive" wire. You use the chassis for the ground.
 
Usually the connector at the end of "add-a-circuit" accepts a blade type, but you can clip it and solder the power wires for your GPS and radar detector. The only thing you should be aware of is that many of the car electronics don't operate at 12-14 volts and have either a voltage regulator, or just a load resistor in the "cigarette plug" adaptor. Make sure you transfer those into your new wiring.

2008 CR-V up at 15k, feel like dealer service is a rip off by Whistler1211
Nov 25, 2008 (10:06 pm)

Dealer wants to do a rear differential fluid change and 15k service (oil and filter change,tire rotation and balancing,full brake inspection,battery check,all belts and hoses are gone over,transmission fluid is replaced,air filter is replaced,a oil and fuel additive is put in) for $400+.
 
I feel like this is a ripoff. I can just get the rear diff. fluid changed for $70 at the dealer and then get the rest done at a Jiffy Lube type place for much cheaper, yes?
 
Also, is the rear diff. fluid change necessary at 15k or is 30k acceptable? I found this service schedule on another Honda Dealer's site. What do you all think, is it legit for an 08 CR-V? I don't trust the maintenance minder.
