I discovered a strange problem. I had a plastic bag of clothes in the back of my 96 Passport that I was taking to the church to donate. The bag and several pieces of clothes had melted into the carpet. when I lifted the carpet I found were the carpet and padding had burn up through to the clothes. Has anyone had this problem????

electrical problem dashboard and taillights are out by 955rodeo

I have this 1995 Rodeo that for the most part has been running well except lately I am having this intermittent problem of the dashboard lights and taillights not working. The brake lights work, the turn signals work, and the headlights as well as the high beams headlights work just fine. Its only the taillights and the dashboard lights that intermittently do not work. Anybody have the same problem and any idea what it may be?

99 pasport with starting issues by mgibb

I have had the intake valves replace because they were cracked, new spark plugs because they were still the original ones, and had it hooked up to a machine at the shop that is used to clean out all the gunk that may be lurking about. I bought this car from a one owner who never drove it. It is a 99 with 58000 miles on it. When I first got it everything seemed fine. After a few weeks I noticed that it was not starting right up, sometimes it would take two or three tries. On one occasion after I turned it off I smelled gas. Took it in to the honda shop, they hooked it up to a computer. We found that the intake valve or it's casing had a crak, bare with me, I'm not good at shop talk.
So we replaced this thinking it was the problem. Still had issues, so we replaced the spark plugs, seemed alittle better but a few days later it would just click when I turned it over, after a few tries it would start. Back to the shop, needed new starter. Thought it was fixed, wrong, it turns right over but again sometimes it will take afew tried sometimes it will start right up. I find that if it does start right up I need to gas it right away or it will shut down. Had it hooked up to something that blows out all the crap gunking up. Still having the same issues. The guy told me that the computer is showing nothing. We are not sure what to do next. Any suggestions? I'm ready to give up!

1997 Passport, 164250 on odometer...driving at 65 w/ cruise ON, when cruise cuts off, speedometer begins to bounce between 65 and 0 mph, and the odometer is only registering a fraction of the actual mileage. Anyone know whether this is a mechanical or electrical type pblm or a solution to pblm. Also, I've had a strange elec. pblm. where my stereo would uncontrollably turn on and off with bumps in the road and then the next time you start the car, no pblm. to be seen. Any help there??

1995 Honda Passport, V 6, 1150,000 miles.
 Sometimes radio goes on and off intermittently, rear defrost don't work.
  
  (Today installed new battery, then tonight it went from 13.8 volts charging to 10 volts charging + the battery light and brake light came on, the AC/ Heater fan blower motor stopped working all at the same time.)
 
What do you think?

Not exactly. However, I disconnected the cables from the battery posts, completely cleaned the posts and the inside and outside of the cables and connectors, and this seemed to help. I believe that there are still unresolved mystery electrical issues hidden somewhere within the recesses of the dash, but for now, I keep my fingers crossed at all times in regard to this car.

I'm workin on a 1994 Honda Passport.. HAd some wierd electrical problems... they all started when I was rolling down the highway in a rainstorm at night and literally turned on every electrical device in the vehicle.. I noticed my battery was draining.... I saw the post that suggests a poor connection... I have not installed a new Alternator... I used a volt meter and measured the installed battery at 12.25 and as soon as I start the car... with nothing on just the motor running the battery measures 11.6 volts... with the car running the alternator should provide about 13 to 14 volts at the battery... in other words, the alternator should run the car, and provide a boost back to the battery. I'm thinking my alternator isnt kciking back the 14 volts to the battery that it should. Any comments appreciated. Unclwayne.

I agree with your diagnosis. It's likely either a bad connection or a faulty alternator. But there is a third possibility: the battery is old and cannot adequately take a charge.

1994 Honda Passport Fuel pump wiring problem? by mysticbuck
Mar 06, 2008 (7:05 pm)

Driving down the road Honda just quits. It will crank but wont start. Took it to the local repair shop and they said that it had something to deal with the wiring from the fuse to the fuel pump itself. They said the fuel pump was ok its just the wiring that's bad. Also when they had it on the hoist and had it connected to the computer it would run fine, but once off it would just quit. Anyone have any idea on what this could be or if something else could cause this type of problem? Also does anyone know where the wires run and where i could possibly get a wiring diagram? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
