Battery Problem

I recently ran down my battery on my 2009 Fit by leaving the hatch open a little (easy to do). After charging the battery and driving the car apx. 100 miles I noticed that the indicator on the battery is white (suppose to be blue if the battery does not need charging. The dealer tells me that it may take a long time for the blue to return. This doesn't seem reasonable to me. Any comments.

I guess the dealer was right. The indicator turned blue after I drove about 400 miles.

I just had both low beams stop working at the same time. All other electronic functions seem to be OK including the low beams.Has anyone seen this before?

I read another thread about the issues with the Honda Fit low-beam headlights. Are they any better in the 2009 model? If not, will the dealer charge me to adjust them higher? Or is it better just to replace the bulbs? I haven't bought a Fit yet but I'm looking at one.

The same thing happened to me last night. Scary. They started working again mid-morning for no apparant reason. My mechanic is unsure about what to do. Considering swapping out the headlight switch. The part is only about $45 from Honda. What happened in your case - I see your post is a few months old - what did the problem turn out to be??

We ended up taking the car to the dealer since no others could figure out what was wrong. Logic pointed to the light switch and as it turned out that is exactly what the dealer replaced. I believe we ended up paying for the switch only after pushing back on the labor charges. The light switch should not fail in the life time of the car let alone within 2 years........they came through and replaced for free.....we paid for part. All in all we are happy Honda customers.

Thanks! My mechanic also wasn't able to say for certain what went wrong, but ended up repacing the headlight switch as a best guess. So far, so good -- with any luck we're both all set.

I am on my 4th headlight switch for my '07 Fit. The original switch was replaced by my dealer in January '09, although they were uncertain that it was the real cause of the problem. Total cost to me $229.57.
The second switch was replaced three months later, with a similar amount of uncertainty. That one must have been of higher quality because it lasted five whole months. The dealer agreed to consider it under warranty, so there was no charge to me.

Damn, that's lame. It's a dangerous situation. At least your dealer was willing to replace the part (for the third or fourth time) at no charge. For me, so far, so good, but it's only been a couple weeks since my switch was replaced. I didn't do it at the local Honda dealer, their prices are way to high. My mechanic bought the switch from Honda for $45, then charged me another $20 to install it. Honda should consider a recall or they may be looking at litigation one day soon.
