#369 of 401 fuse for front power socket??? by cmruff

Nov 22, 2011 (1:54 pm)

Where is the fuse for my (dead) front power socket, the socket that is NOT in the center console? Is it #28 in the fuse box by the steering column? I looked in the manual and that's the closest thing I saw and I'm at work so can't look under hood yet.
Thanks.

#371 of 401 1999 Civic Door Lock Actuator by hondaowner13

Nov 28, 2011 (12:59 pm)

My husband replaced my drivers door lock actuator since my remote would no longer lock or unlock my doors. The manual switch in the door worked fine. Now, once I close the drivers door, it locks automatically, and it is very difficult to open with the key from the outside. Wondering if there is some other part we should have replaced along with/instead of the actuator? I cannot manually lock the drivers door from inside since the replacement, and the entire lock seems very stubborn and near freezing up. Please help!!

my battery was 3 or 4 yrs old. I replaced that. The light occasionaly goes dim in the area between 40-60mph on speedometer and the whole fuel level. sometimes one or the other are dim a or both are lit up normally. There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to it.
 after changing the battery Its only had the issue where the car "stalls" when when trying to speed up about 3 times since the battery swap. Its been about 6-7 weeks ago?
 
I haven't had any problems with the whole speedometer going crazy and having to disconnect it to drive the car.
 
  When I swap out my winter tires in April I'll have the lights/electrical checked out that light up the dash.
There has to be something corroded and shorting out there... and just need needs to be replaced from age. I can hear a loud click sometimes when the light comes on. a friend said he cleaned all the connections from the distributor going to the speedometer the ECU and dash area.
 
The only other thing I did was replace my headlight bulbs they were visiblely dimmer due to be at least 10 years old.

#378 of 401 Oxygen sensor problems--Civic 2000 by rwerdinger

Hi, I have a Honda Civic 2000 with about 108,000 miles on it. A little while ago the "check engine" light come on even though the car was running fine. My mechanic said it had to do with the oxygen sensor. They reset some codes, and the light went off, but my car began shaking while at a stoplight and even stalled once--something it has never done before. I took it back, they ran some tests, then said it needed a new oxygen sensor. With labor and parts, it came to almost $500. A few days after that, the engine light came back on. I took it back, and the cycle was repeated--engine light reset, car shaking at stoplights. The mechanic told me to come back again and have their specialist look at it again. I have used this garage successfully for several years, but they have to bring in an outside mechanic to do this job, and they can't answer any questions about the work themselves. Advice and info is welcome. Does it sound to you like I need a new mechanic?
