The engine has been identified as an intereference engine with the possibility of valve to piston damage most likely to occur in the event of belt failure.

Check the dimmer setting. It may have accidentally been turned down. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Have you checked the dimmer switch to see if accidentally was turned down? I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

the low beam lights are switched by the stalk. power goes in the stalk and you switch it between the high beam and low beam from that. If it works intermittently it could be bad contacts in the light switch/stalk. Jon

OBD2 DLC is located under the dash near the center console to the driver's side. It is D-Shaped 16 pin female connector in which some of the ports are vacant. See the diagram:

Bad motor if plugged in still... replace motor control

Most likely this is an internal failure of the Navi system.

that might be a honda only thing, but you can try a local stereo store like car toys or even best buy.

Ah! ODBC... completely different concept from OBDII, no database involved. 8) 8) 8) You're looking for the OBD or OBDII connector. It's guaranteed to be within 36" of the steering wheel, under the dashboard. In my experience, it's nearly always VERY CLOSE to the steering column under the dash... like within 12". It looks a lot like a smaller version of the Centronics connector (if you remember that), a little like a D-sub connector. Note that it MAY be hidden behind a plastic panel, but the panel should not require any tools to remove - it should be hand-removable.

Under dash fuse box

Your accessory port is wired in through the ignition so it turns off when the key is in the off position. The only way around this is to run of wire from a 12 V full-time hot source through to the accessory port. You need to know what you're doing to be able to do this correctly or you can short out your entire instrument panel and possibly make your vehicle stop running and void any warrantees.

You have to go up from under/behind the bumper to get to the bulb.

I would start with a tune-up: new plugs and wires, new distributor cap/rotor button, new air filter, maybe a new fuel filter. If you get gas at the same location all the time, try a different one for a while too. These would be the easiest to do first to eliminate some common issues.

Definitely change the filter. It's job is to clean out waste deposits in the oil and will most likely be past it's used by date. Good luck lamlam

I found this on an Odyssey forum. It is long, but that panel is not a short process. After you have fixed the wire, you might have to "rehome" the doors. Google this and you should find instructions.

1. I just finished replacing the passenger 3rd row seatbelt in my 2006 Odyssey, which required removal and replacement of the trim panel. Instructions were enclosed with the new seatbelt ordered from Honda, but I had to scan thru the whole document because the needed info was not in the section about 3rd row seatbelt replacement. Trim panel removal is not terribly difficult, but is rather fussy and slow work. Basically the panels are held in place by little plastic pins that snap into holes in the underlying metal bodywork. In addition, the rear panel is held at the bottom by the sliding door threshold panel and the rear hatch threshold panel, and at the top by the pillar trim panels flanking the rear window. (These are called Pillars C and D, repectively). You may as well start by unbolting the 2nd row seatbelt at the floor and on Pillar C. Down at the floor, pull back the rubbery cover and unscrew the bolt using a 14mm wrench. Up above, on the pillar, remove the plastic cover at the sealbelt shoulder height adjustment mechanism. This cover has hooks molded into either side, so gently use a screwdriver to pry them loose and pop off the cover, then unscrew the bolt with your 14mm wrench. Next, remove the sliding door threshold panel by prying it up with a screwdriver or prybar and getting your fingers under it until you hear and feel the pins pop loose one by one. You will develop a feel for how much force to apply. Use your fingers as much as possible, because you risk marring the plastic edges with steel tools. The threshold panel is hooked into the other trim panels at either end, so work it to disengage. Fold the rear seat down flat and remove the plastic cover over the seat pivot. Pry the forward side up first and then rotate it rearwards over the pivot, and then disengage and remove it fully. At the rear hatch, unscrew the two cargo net knobs on the passenger side. The plastic knobs will probably come off like nuts, leaving a steel stud behind, or the stud may remain attached to the knob; either way is okay. Pry loose and remove the little plate on the rear trim panel "window sill" where the seat belt enters. BTW, keep all these little loose parts together as you go. On Pillar D (rearmost pillar) there is a small square cover that says something about air bags. Pry this loose at the top, as it is hinged at the bottom. You may need something thinner than a screwdriver (try a pocket knife). Once this is open, remove the Phillips head screw inside. Pillar C (forward) also has a square "air bag" cover plate, but it works differently. Just pry it straight out, but not all the way out. Just let it dangle. At this point all the major hindrances to removing the passenger side rear trim panel have been dealt with. Starting back at the rear hatch, pry the panel loose and pull it away from the wall, using fingers as much as possible. Listen for the plastic pins to pop loose as you go. There are two at the rear, four across the "window sill" and two toward the front. There is another pin in the center of the panel, but it will pop loose eventually as you pull the panel away from the wall. NOTE: The lower trim panel and the pillar trim panels are hooked together, so you have to work those joints to separate them. NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO PULL THE PILLAR TRIM PANELS LOOSE AT THE TOP. First loosen them at the bottom, and then rotate and work them gently free of the headliner. Similarly, the main trim panel should be loosened at either end and along the top before rotating the panel in, sort of pivoting at its base. It is hooked under the rear hatch threshold, so you'll have to work it free by pushing down and rotating. Long before this point, I was wondering if I could get at the seatbelt retractor spool behind the trim panel without completely removing the trim panel. However, there was a hard plastic a/c duct in the way, so I had to completely remove the trim panel to get at the duct. It turned out there wasn't much holding the duct in place and I was able to loosen it enough to get the old seat belt spool out and the new one bolted in. Reinstall everything in reverse order. One tip I can offer concerns the little square plate on the Pillar C trim panel, the one I said to leave dangling. This gizmo is actually a long plastic stud. When I finally managed to pull the Pillar C trim panel loose from the main trim panel, this stud fell out. It is molded in tan plastic (my van has tan interior) but it had a separate black piece on the end. I thought I would never get this stud/plate back in place during reinstallation. Here's the trick: take the little black piece loose from the stud, and install it first by itself by pushing it into the hole, making sure the cross-shaped hole is aligned correctly to match the tan stud. The small black piece is analogous to a nut, and the tan stud is like a bolt. Put the "nut" in first, then poke the "bolt" in on top of it. Otherwise, the stud forces the "nut" to expand BEFORE IT CAN ENTER THE HOLE in the metal bodywork, and no amount of pushing or pounding will force it in.

Please check the following: - Check the specific gravity of the battery. - Perform the battery test. - Perform the voltage drop test. - Check the battery terminals for corrosion, sulfate deposits and looseness. (Remove the battery terminals, wash them with Luke warm water, dry them, spray wet type contact cleaner and fix them back). - Perform alternator test with and without load. - Check the main fuses, battery cables and connectors in the fuse and relay box under the hood. Hope that works.
