Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 04, 2009 10:06 am) Thanks for the input. I got the ignition switch replaced in 2002, right after the recall was announced. Funny thing is, the car behaved just like what the recall indicated - the car just cut out in the middle of traffic, no warning. Only thing was, it never started up again. The recall said the ignition switch outages could be erratic and unpredictable. So we'll see what happens. First thing, I need to get a new battery in it. Then, I can do the troubleshooting you described. Problem is I don't have the tools I once had that I could use to fix this myself (my tools were stolen in a burglary). I can do the basic troubleshooting, but if I had to R&R the fuel tank to get to the fuel pump, then I'm screwed. And, just for your reference, I have the official Honda shop manual for this model year.

Replying to: roger821 (Nov 04, 2009 10:26 am) first the battery you can get from Autozone, their Duralast batteries are now made by Johnson Controls. Same people who make Honda's batteries, same insides too. But for a lower price, gotta love that. (Honda dealer's are always overpriced). Just make sure to load test the new battery before you install it. To make sure it's not a dud. never know could happen, better to test before. Ever think that the ignition switch IS the problem? Just because it was recalled, doesn't mean the new one wouldn't die the same way. Your thoughts/instincts are correct that it acted just like the recall, definitely listen to them, that's probably where you should start first. Since you have the service manual, then you can use that to diagnose with a multimeter the ignition switch. A multimeter, if you don't have one, is like $3.99 at harbor freight. |

Hello: About a month ago I was rear-ended and had the back door replaced by a body shop. Now the door open indicator and trunk light flicker when going over bumps. Rather than going back to the body shop I would like to replace the switch myself - I have seen the service bulletins addressing the issue. How hard is the switch to get to?

I waited... and waited until my 1st oil change - relying on the indicater, and trusting the dealership recommendation. When it was finally time for the oil change, I did not have it changed at the dealership, I had it done closer to home. Question: Is the indicator system/light still accurate at this point or would the dealer have changed it now that the factory-oil is gone? After years of 3000 miles then 5000 miles for each change - I am anxious!

Replying to: deasy12 (Nov 12, 2009 8:17 am) But if you're anxious and don't want to wait, why should you have to? There is nothing or anyone holding a gun to your head forcing you to wait. You want to change your oil at 5000 miles, then change it. When did people become controlled by a computer? IT's JUST OIL PEOPLE! If it makes you happy, change it early!
