Hello , I have a brand new 07 odysset EX-L RES and NAVI. I understand that the passenger and driver can have different temperature setting which is regulated automatically. Everyone in the back will have to manually set temperatures which is not automatic. But in Page 215 of the manual it says "On EX and EX-L models: When the rear passenger’s zone is turned on using the REAR button on the front control panel, the rear passenger compartment temperature is selected based on the driver’s temperature setting." Does this mean that rear passenger temperature can also be automatically regulated, even though it is set to the temperature of the driver? I thougth you could not regulate rear compartment temperature automatically. Thanks PHK

I just had a hitch fitted at a Honda dealer. Just the 300$ Honda hitch for a bike rack - no added cooler etc or wiring. It is hot and humid in Chicago today - reading 90 degrees on the bank signs and our thermometer etc., but on the van's readout it says 78 degrees. Would they have switched off the A/c etc to fit the hitch ? Since this is a 2007, bought in May from the dealer - is this something that they will rectify regardless of how it was caused without charge? Thanks, Jahlimey |

Replying to: q12849 (Aug 14, 2007 10:33 am) My 2000-EX was doing the same exact thing. Only high fan. Rough noise. No compressor operation. Warm air only. I found this forum. Did some reading. And, decided to change the transistor. Did some calling and surfing for the part. The dealer quoted me $60ish over the phone, but dropped it to $45ish when I went to buy it. $45 is comparable to the $38+ from places like Majestic Honda once you’ve factored in the handling and shipping charges. Anyway - It was $52 and some change out the door. I mentioned my symptoms to the parts guy at the dealership. He said he’d heard of all this before. I made the comment (jokingly) that I may be back for another part (I think the fan switch relay is mentioned in these posts as well.) if this transistor didn’t fix it. He laughed and said something to the effect of “I think you have the right part for this fix...” He was right. The hardest part of the replacement is getting into position to do the work. The unit is located behind (towards the front of the van) the fan blower motor. I pulled the fan out to make getting to the transistor easier, and because I figured it could use a cleaning anyway. It did. Three screws hold the fan in. And three screws hold the transistor unit in. Nothing special about it other than the fan screws being socket or torx drive. The whole job took less than an hour. I will note that the new transistor unit does not look exactly like the original in that it has more of what look like cooling fins on it. (Mine does, anyway.) After the replacement of the transistor unit. My system works factory new. I too, owe these guys quite the THANK YOU !! I hate to think of the cost of taking the van to the dealer (or any repair shop), handing them the keys and saying fix the A/C system. Ouch !! ps - Please let us know how your story turns out.
