#3047 of 3189 Re: Console lights out: 2006 Pilot [seaspotsranch] by franella Jan 30, 2009 (4:17 pm)
Replying to: seaspotsranch (Jan 30, 2009 9:54 am) to the person who had some lights out and was told to check the fuses before trying to change the bulbs.....    My whole GPS/AV screen went out because I dropped a dime down in the cig. lighter hole inside the center console glove box and it blew a fuse. There are FOUR fuse boxes on the car and we had to check every single fuse in all four boxes before we found the one that had blown - it was the last one we checked. You need a tester light to do this and it's not hard, but I bet that's what's wrong with your lights - a fuse has blown. Don't bother trying to figure out which one it might be from the diagrams. Just check them all. There are extra fuses in the boxes and a puller, too. Very nice.    I've had a map light out for a year and can't figure out how to change it.

Replying to: seaspotsranch (Jan 30, 2009 9:58 am) Try this to see if one of the tire is really defective. Switch the front tires (L to R, R to L) if the pull goes to opposite direction then it is the tire. If the pull is same then it is not the tire.

#3050 of 3189 Re: Repair histories on 04-06 pilots? EW or no EW??? [cheryl26] by kipk Feb 01, 2009 (5:11 am)
Replying to: cheryl26 (Jan 26, 2009 2:50 pm) >"I am wondering whether owners of 04-06 pilots either (a) regretted not getting an extended warranty due to expensive problems arising after 36,000 miles or (b) are glad they bought an extended warranty, or (c) haven't needed one at all b/c their pilots have been trouble free. "   Too many things to go wrong that are very expensive to "fix".   Example: Our 03 CR-V AC compressor self destructed. Car had over 36K miles and was more than 3 years old. Service writer said the cost would be in the $3000 range as everything in the AC system would need to be replaced, due to pieces and particles from the compressor "floating" around in the system, that could damage any new parts.   Truthfully, I don't know if there was a problem with the AC that Honda was "Fixing" free under some type of secret extended warranty or what. But we do have a Honda Care Extended Warranty. We paid nothing and also got a free rental car, while repairs were being made. They even replaced the hoses, which are considered a "WEAR" item   Our 03 Pilot had some kind of issue that was covered under the EW, seems it was the EGR valve. Took them 2 days to find the problem. Part was under $100, but the labor would have been seriously expensive. Seems I paid a $50 deductible but maybe not even that. Got a free rental car.   '95 Maxima, that we traded for the CR-V, had EW claims that just about paid for the EW.   For us, the EW is negotiated, right along with the price of the car. We don't buy the car without the EW, so they are inclined to "DEAL" a bit better.   Kip Replies to this message: cheryl26 (Feb 02, 2009 6:45 am)

#3052 of 3189 Re: Security Alarm Malfunction [chic_cebuana] by bobspilot Feb 04, 2009 (2:00 pm)
Replying to: chic_cebuana (Feb 06, 2006 7:16 am) The same thing has been happening to my 2007 Pilot. I have noticed the car is usually covered with dew when this occurs. The dealer has worked on it twice. Once replacing a multiplex unit and the 2d time replacing both front and rear passenger door lock actuators. Three weeks later the same thing at 6 AM.   It would appear the dealer doesn't have a clue and is just guessing. Anyone have any ideas?
#3053 of 3189 Extended warranty by tjc30 Feb 05, 2009 (12:06 pm)
I have a 06 pilot that has 9K miles on it. In '06, someone hit my vehicle on the passenger side and one door has to be replaced and the second one repaired. It was a hit and run. No other issues. It was repaired at a local shop not a honda dealer.   Now, I am thinking about buying an EW but wanted to make sure this incident does not bring any issues down the line ? Or is it ?   Can someone advice. Please..
#3054 of 3189 Front air dam replacement by odie6l Feb 07, 2009 (2:49 pm)
I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm always reading. Anyway, besides going through the local dealers parts department (which will be expensive) does anyone know where I would be able to get a replacement lower front air dam for the passenger side. Oh yeah, I have a 2006 EX Pilot. My wife the other night after our lovely development finally decided to plow the streets block the driveway with the mound of ice tried to go into our driveway by driving through the mound. she mis-judged the edge of the curb and caught the cement with the air dam and CRACK. this is the little black part that hangs down infront of the passenger front tire and has a little curve to it. I've also checked on College Hills Honda parts page and can't seem to find it listed as a part. I'm going to give a call to a local salvage yard on Monday to see what they can work out. Looks like an easy repair as it is only moulding and no electrical or A/C ducting there.   Odie Odie's Carspace Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Feb 07, 2009 4:28 pm) odie6l (Feb 09, 2009 5:59 pm) bigdadi118 (Feb 09, 2009 9:36 pm)

Replying to: odie6l (Feb 07, 2009 2:49 pm) I know what you mean but I can't find it in the Bumper section either. Best is to take a photo or email them with below photo though this's 09 model pic that can show that piece.   Replies to this message: odie6l (Feb 09, 2009 5:59 pm) bigdadi118 (Feb 09, 2009 9:36 pm)
