#1725 of 1734 TCM problem fix? by cybercool Oct 28, 2009 (7:45 pm)
Hey gojackets   I think I found the G301 body ground located behind the windshield washer bottle you mentioned. Correct me if I'm wrong, with hood open, in front of car facing toward rear, is it on right corner side of windshield washer bottle? It has a metal plate with two fuses with wires grounded to car chassis?   Can you email me a pic of G301 body ground? Thanks.

#1726 of 1734 G301 Ground location and appearance by gojackets Oct 29, 2009 (4:16 am)
Replying to: cybercool (Oct 28, 2009 7:45 pm) G301 is located on the drivers side fender and probably hidden behind the wiper fluid bottle.   It looks like a box - 1.5" tall, 1.25" wide, 0.5" thick. It has 8-10 black wires going into the bottom of it. It is almost always covered with grease and road gunk. The box itself is light colored plastic (the plastic is just a cover) and the aluminum connector inside it is bolted to the fender with a 10mm bolt.   There is another, identical looking ground located on the passeger side fender (between the strut tower and the battery) that is easier to see - you can take a look at that one so you know what to look for on the other side.   G301 is "suspect" especially if you have multiple symptoms (in my case VSS/TCM and wipers) OR if your car has ever been wrecked in the front.

Replying to: gojackets (Oct 29, 2009 4:28 am) To elaborate on my earlier posts about these grounds. You need to remove the box and unsnap the top to open it. Clean and tighten all of the connections inside. It will be filled with Honda's "mystery goo". The metal part that is bolted to the car is actually the end of an aluminum connection.

#1733 of 1734 Selling a 93 Accord with TCM issues. by cybercool Nov 06, 2009 (9:01 am)
I want to sell my 93 accord and it has TCM electrical problems and I feel it's a simple fix. It's been reliable for the three years I had it. I dont want to spend more $$$ on it. I want to be honest and tell any potential buyer the TCM can be the issue.I was thinking of asking $1800. Am I asking for too much?   Thanks Cybercool Replies to this message: gojackets (Nov 07, 2009 9:46 pm)

Replying to: cybercool (Nov 06, 2009 9:01 am) You are right at the kelly blue book value for that car in good condition and <200K miles (note, I looked at values in the south and not in areas that use road chemicals for snow) If I were buying it, though (with the obvious stuff that goes along with a buggy TCM) I would probably offer you $1400. It might be worth it for you to buy one of the rebuilt TCM's that are offered on ebay (somewhere in the $200-$250 range) to get a higher you can go to www.kbb.com and get a better handle on the value of your car (presuming a TCM fix has been done)
