did you ever find a fix for this? I am having a very similar problem with a 2004 pilot.
 
thanks.

2003 Pilot Door Lock Fault? by ross22
Jul 03, 2008 (9:14 am)

I am having problems with the driver's side door lock. Neither the keyless fob or the switch on the door locks or unlocks the door. The other doors work with the fob and the switch. The door seems to be "trying" to lock and unlock when I activate the lock but, the lock seems to almost be sticking. I have removed the inside of the door and I can't identify anything preventing the door from working properly.
 
any suggestions would be very helpful.
 
thanks

How old is your battery. This may be far fetched but someone who had the same problem told me the problem went away after getting a new battery.

thanks, but the battery was new in Feb and the problem developed after that. I took it to the shop and was told its an actuator. Now I need to figure out what that is, how much it is and how do I replace it. the shop wants about $150.00 for parts and labor. I'd like to do it myself if its pretty easy.

If you feel comfortable taking the door inside cover apart it should be a very simple job to replace the part. The actuator is a little electronic part that is screwed on the door and a set of wires connect to it. You may even be able to find a used one for a good deal from a used car part shop but since eectronic parts are usually non-refundable I would only buy a used one if it cost a fraction of a new one.

that is great news and info. thank you very much. I've already taken the interior of the door apart once trying to troubleshoot it.
 
thanks again.

Honda Pilot after the accident by seaspotsranch

A few weeks ago a drunk driver hit my beautiful 2006 Honda Pilot. Fortunately we were not in the car and she was taken to jail. I should be getting my car back tomorrow or the next day. I've missed my navigation and heated seats. Still, we will trade it in and get something that hasn't been in an accident because that is what we do. We are struggling w/ the '09 Pilot pricing. We didn't pay 30K for our EXL-Navi so paying 40K two years later sounds painful.
 
Anyhow, I must say that the Pilot was hit by someone doing at least 50mph. smashed the front fender, door, bent the hood. The cabin on the other hand was in tact. I am amazed and pleased with how the car held up. Had we been in it, we would have been shaken but not injured. A testament to the quality of a Honda.
  Maybe the '09 will be worth it.

Had a dealer repair the Honda. It was a broken wire to the Knock Sensor. Very small, un-supported wire. Part was only $7.00 but it cost $430 to replace it. Had to take the intake manifold off. Dealer coudn't explain why the VTM-4 lite came on but it doesn't anymore.
Just ordered a Chilton Repair Manual. Fix things myself hereafter.

Absolutely ridiculous to charge $430 to remove and re install the intake manifold.
Recon some of that time involved the diagnostics.
 
Wondering if that wire just might fall into the EPA "emissions" category. Think there is a separate warranty with that.
 
Might be worth checking out.

75,000 mile brake pads by cwoody
Jul 28, 2008 (11:01 am)

Hey All,
 
I just wanted to share with everyone that I got 75,000 miles out of the orginal set of brake pads on our '04 Pilot. As I do some towing with our pilot I was surprised they lasted so long. I had been checking the amount of pad left frrom time to time and finally decided to change them before we left on a trip to Florida (from KY). The orginal pads still had pad left on them and could have easily lasted another 5-10,000 miles (in my opinion).
 
 The rear pads wore at the same rate as the front pads, so I replaced front and rear at the same time. They were very easy to change. I ordered the new pads from Majestic Honda. I ordered the pads on Monday and they arrived Wednesday evening!!! I called my local Honda dealer in Lexington KY (good old Don Jacob's) and priced a set of the rear pads, they wanted $76. I told them I could order them on-line for $48 Plus $15 S&H, they said they weren't Honda Parts (WRONG!!!). Majestic showed the List price as $68 and sale price as $48. So good old Don wanted more than list price for the pads.
 
  This is the second time I have ordered from Majestic over the net and I have been very happy with their price and time of delivery. The first time I ordered a new pass. side mirror (the wife hit a mailbox with it). I got the color I needed (Sandstone) and it got here in 3 days!! It was list priced at something like $325 and Majestic had it for $168!! (plus S&H) It arrived and I had it on in less then an hour. You can't tell that it was ever changed.
