Yes, the switch is under the black rubber cap. When you pull it out be careful to not let the wire disappear into the door post. It's probably a good idea to replace it. Good luck.

Now that my headlight issue has been fixed....
 
My 04 has about 80K. When I am driving and take my foot off the pedal, I hear a very noticeable WHIRRRRING coming from the wheel areas which gets quieter as the wheels slow. It does not occur when the accelerator is depressed, only when I take my foot off to either coast or even put my foot on the break. No other performance issues that I can tell. Has been going on for about 10K miles.
 
I took it to the dealer - they said they can absolutely hear the noise but they cannot find any problem. They thought it might be the tires, but it is strange. Had transmission oil changed - still there.
 
Any thoughts.

At 18,000, 2008 EX-L, I too got codes B,1,6. I am going to wait until 30,000 miles for rear diff fluid, unless i start hearing noise from the rear.

The car is still under warranty and this is well before the recommended change interval so bring it in. The dealership should do it for free if you mention what I said above. Better safe than sorry, they put those computers in the car for a reason.

New Car Smell from Under Hood by niteflite888

I bought a new 2008 AWD EX about two months ago. From the start I've noticed a strong smell from under the hood whenever I get out of the car. I know that on all cars there can be a smell and the hood is expected to be hot with the engine having run and all, but has anyone else experienced this with their car? Even when inside the car I can smell it at times.
 
If it weren't new I'd guess that the radiator isn't working properly or it would be low on some sort of fluid - oil, transmission fluid, other. But the oil level is fine and there are no light indicators that are on in my instrument panel.

A possibility: It could be the acrid, stinky smell of hot brake pads.
It wafts from various places, including from under the hood. And it can pounce on you when you open the door to get out or sneak along inside when you enter the car.

It smells a little like oil but no leaks anywhere. Maybe the brakes? 2007 model but not as strong now.

You probably only smell it in the winter. We have attributed it to brine water evaporating off hot exhaust system.

My 2003 had a strong smell for about 6 months. It was some kind of protectant coating on the engine, which gradually burned off.
