By running lights I think they mean "tail-lamps".

Power Steering Pump Noise by Honda30
Jan 17, 2009 (9:57 am)

I replaced the power steering pump on my 04 Accord LX V6 at 78,000 miles because of noise. My daughter had her pump replaced on her 03 Accord V6 at 54,000 miles because of noise.
 
Further research on my part indicates that the Honda pumps are failing at an unusually high rate. This item costs around $500.00 to replace.
 
Please post up if you have had this issue with your 03 and newer Honda, and the amount you paid to have it corrected.
 
Thanks

There is a TSB on the power steering moan/whine. It may be the problem.

03 Accord fan motor stays on after ignition is turned off by tully22

I recently replaced the underhood fuse/relay panel in my 2003 Accord EX to correct the light dimming problem created by a failing ELD, but now my blower for heat and a/c stays on after ignition is off. It seems like a relay issue, but I can't find the location of that relay. Any help?

thanks for the info on the TSB. I've noticed something here and there with the steering wheel being hard to turn at first w/ my 2004 Accord 4 cyclinder (well.. was "mine".. I've moved onto my new car, an '08 IS 350). I thought it may have something to do with a power steering fluid because a flush has been recommended to me by the Honda Dealer on a few recent occasions (but not by Firestone yet, so I was ignoring it).
 
I will be taking in the Accord for certain 120k and below services (it's now at 126k+ miles - I've discussed these services recently on this thread and will give an update on where I am with everything soon to help others who are in the same boat as me). I'll show them this and see what they say, but I guess it's exclusive to the 6 cylinder? maybe there's something for the 4 cylinder too?

The V6 TSB is the only one I know of. I've heard of bad pumps too. They may use the same type of connection and 0-rings on the 4 cylinder, don't know. I do know an 0-ring cost less than a pump.

elroy5 Thanks for the TSB. My symptons were the same as described in the TSB. You would think there would be oil leakage if the return line o-ring was the cause. I had no oil leakage at all.
 
Are these TSB's available online to the public?

I just bought a 2006 Honda Accord EX with 16000 miles. The dealer gave me quote for an extended warranty of $1300 for 6 years and 84K miles. Personally I think the quote was a bit high, but I also thinking I wasn't sure if I wanted an extended warranty anyway. Should I spend $1000 for an extended warranty with a vehicle such as this? Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any sites that have all of the TSBs, and the details. When one is posted, it's usually by a Honda technician.

When I purchased my Accord in 2005, I bought the 7year/70K Honda extended warranty for $800. $1,300 seems high... and really $1,000 seems high, especially if the warranty you're buying isn't a Honda extended warranty.
 
My two cents! Good luck!
