'05 CRV Right Headlamp problem - Fuse OK -Bulb OK..what gives? by robleso7473

Hi all,
I'm hoping one or more of you have had this issue because I'm stumped:
Right headlamp went out. I first checked fuse, it was fine. I then pulled out bulb, it was fine. Does anyone know what else I can check without having to pull wires out? Is the wire from the fuse box to the bulb socket bad?
Thanks.

Swap the working left with the right headlamp to see if the right is back on. Sometimes the problem is hidden.

I actually pulled out the right bulb and tested it on the bench. It lights up no problem. The fuse is ok too but something I observed something else that bothered me: I pulled out the R-HL fuse and used a voltmeter to determine if the hotside of the fuse socket had 12V and it did, then for sh*ts and giggles I measured the cold side of the fuse socket and guess what?? It also had 12V.....what good is the fuse for then? There's something fishy going on with the wiring here.

2007 Honda CR-V at almost 53,000 miles - next service move? by srizvi1

I'm reply to a post that detailed the last major service we did back on 11/01/2008 at 40,232 miles in our 2007 CR-V 4WD. We did the oil change recently (maybe 1k miles ago), but didn't do anything else. We had swung by one of our local Honda dealers (Jim Coleman Honda) recently to get the oil change reminder thing reset. The guy there recommended and gave us printouts on their "Schedule 'B' Recommended Service" (45k, $310) and "Schedule 'C' Recommended Service". (60k, $469)
 
both services include the following items:
- Replace oil and filter
- Install BG MOA oil supplement (reduce friction/extend life of engine)
- Install BG Carbon Fighter 5 (prevents & removes fuel system deposits)
- Inspect drive belts
- Inspect radiator and coolant hoses
- Inspect cooling fan operation
- Inspect suspension system and mounting bolt torque
- Inspect exhaust pipes and muffler
- Inspect emissions controls for proper operation
- Inspect steering rack and tie rod ends
- Rotate Tires and inspect for wear and damage
- Set proper tire pressure
- check power steering operation
- Load test battery and clean terminals (don't really need this, just had battery replaced under warranty - posted about it a few posts up)
- Inspect brake pads and shoes for wear
- Inspect brake lines and hoses
- Inspect parking brake adjustment
- Top off windshield washer fluid
- Inspect windshield wiper blades and inserts
- Check PCV system
- Inspect vehicle lighting
- lubricate door hinges and seals
- lubricate hood hinges and latch
- clean engine compartment
- inspect drive axle boots and bands
- reset maintenance indicator
- road test vehicle
 
the differences in the Schedule B/45k service (that the Schedule C/60k service doesn't have) is as follows:
- Inspect automatic transmission fluid level
- Inspect valve clearance
- replace antifreeze (done so early? in my 2004 Accord 4 cylinder, this wasn't done til 120,000 miles)
- inspect and clean air filter element
 
the differences in the Schedule C/60k service (that the Schedule B/45k service doesn't have) is as follows:
- Replace transmission fluid (again, done so early? My 2004 Accord 4 cylinder had this done at 120k miles too I believe)
- Inspect transmission linkage
- Adjust valve clearance as required (again, done so early? this was checked out at 110k miles in my 2004 Accord 4 cylinder)
- replace spark plugs (again, done so early? this was checked out at 120k miles in my 2004 Accord 4 cylinder)

- replace air filter element
- inspect ignition wires
- inspect distribution cap and rotor
- inspect idle speed
- inspect water pump for leaks
- inspect antifreeze level and protection
- replace brake fluid (again, done so early? in my 2004 Accord, this was done every 3 years).
- inspect antilock brake system operation
- Perform differential service (additional) (not sure what this is all about)
 
Any thoughts? for the 30k service on the car, I paid $20 to firestone adn for that price they did a complete vehicle inspection which I believe covered pretty much everything that was listed to be done for that service. and then the air filter & cabin air filter I ordered and installed myself. And the oil change and tire rotation I had done at the dealer using a $30 coupon. so all in all, I think I paid under $100 for everything.

You can do most of this yourself in about 2 hours. Rotate tries is the longest task, about 20 minutes with a floor jack. O&F is about 15 -20 minutes.

Well, they were made in Britain weren't they!

No, they were actually built in Japan. This is the first problem I've had w/ my CRV in the 4 years I've owned it.

Wow $770 for oil change and oil and fuel additives!!!!!!!!!
 
I'd go back and point out in the OWNER's MANUAL that no oil additives are needed, and may void the warranty.
 
I would also ask them to show how they check and adjust valve clearance on a K24 engine.
 
I would also point out the 105,000 milelife of the spark plugs.

Thanks for the feedback circlew/OW. I'm not really handy though so I couldn't do most of this on my own. What I'm most interested in is figuring out what really needs to be checked out right now and what doesn't. Again, for $20, Firestone does a complete vehicle inspection which I think covers most (maybe all?) of these things. So w/ all the inspections taken care of there, and the two things I know how to do - air and cabin air filters - I'm wondering how many other action items are really needed to be done.
