#1 of 8 Pilot Fuse Problem with Cell Phone Chargers by frisbear Jan 16, 2008 (7:21 am)
For my new 2007 Pilot, I am on my 4th or 5th set of radio or ACC/Cigarette lighter fuses because my Verizon car phone charger shorts out those fuses as soon as I plug it in. (Sometimes the radio fuse blows, other times it is the ACC/Cigarette Lighter Fuse) This same charger is not a problem in my 03 Odessey or in my 96 Accord. When I call my local dealership they say that other people have had similar complaints but they say it is a Verizon issue.   Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any suggesstions?

Replying to: parviz (Mar 01, 2008 12:11 pm) No problems yet with my 04 cig lighter, but it has been sooooo frustrating to have it only turn on when the key is on! I can;t tell you how often I had to run the car or just leave the key on to charge some small trickle device. My many other cars and trucks could charge (if left on inadvertently) for a week. My dealer says Honda feels Its battery/alternator is too weak. Another suggestion for the 2009 that I plan to get.
#5 of 8 Similar problem with new verizon wireless charger by kapman Sep 20, 2008 (11:54 am)
I got a new cell phone charger yesterday. On my first attempt to charge my phone, the fuse for the stereo along with the chargers blew. I have a Honda Pilot 2006.
#6 of 8 This just happened to us and I can't get the stereo or nav system to work? by todd91942 Apr 17, 2009 (11:51 am)
my wife plugged in my mother in-law's cell phone charger and the stereo and nav system went out and do not work. I've replaced the Radio fuse under the hood and the #8 fuse under the dash and still nothing. We have a 2006 Honda Pilot. Is this what happened to you guys also?

Replying to: todd91942 (Apr 17, 2009 11:51 am) I had the same issue with the Nav system & stereo, the fuse that i found that was blow was on the front passenger side of the car down by your feet area, there is a small panel with a few fuses, I believe it is the 8th fuse in that panel that is for the stereo/Nav/power outlet. My car is 2003 so not sure if the same fuse as your year. Good luck, it took my about an hour to figure out that there was a panel down there.
#8 of 8 Charger problem with Honda Pilot by gmapes Sep 04, 2009 (1:25 pm)
My generic phone charger just blew the fuse for the radio and navigation in my 07 Pilot. According to the dealership, this is a classic problem. If the power outlet can't handle a phone charger, something is wrong. Just my take, Honda should do a recall.
