Replying to: blueiedgod (Jan 30, 2006 7:18 am) 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. Bud H

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.

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. |

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. 2002-2008 CR-V Service Schedule

Replying to: Whistler1211 (Nov 25, 2008 10:06 pm) Dealers typically recommend that more be done than what is recommended by the manufacturer in the owner's manual. Some of their recommendations may be ok, but mostly it's a way to make money. I'd trust the maintenance minder before I'd trust a service writer on commission. |

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 25, 2008 10:50 pm) My main problem I guess here is that I would trust the maintenance minder, but I heard stories that if you change the oil earlier than the minder tells you, and have it reset, that it throws all the other milestones out of whack, so it may tell me to change my rear differential later than I actually should. |
