Post little miscellaneous issues with your car and hopefully someone can chime in. Little issues that dont require a thread, but still need to be fixed.

Make sure to post the year of your Accord and the engine.

My door lock switch will lock the doors, but wont unlock. The key will unlocked and lock from the outside and the manual lever on the door will lock all doors, but again wont unlock. Could it be a bad switch??

I hear a clunking noise from the front passenger area. I suspect its the sway bar end link but im not too sure, I havent checked it out.

The car is leaking oil onto the exhaust pipe but its most noticeable when I come to a complete stop, then it starts smoking as if the radiator blew. Its leaking onto the header and/or o2 sensor housing. Ive already done the valve cover gasket, now I just need to do the oil pan. Since it smokes the most at stand still, could it be the rear main seal?

ABS light is on, where is the service connector so I can jump it and retrieve the code?

98 V6, tranny shifts hard (surprise!), left rear outer door handle doesnt open the door, same door lock actuator motor is dying and barely moves. alarm goes off at random, just rebuilt whole front suspension and it knocks still.

Have you tried to do a continuity test to see if the switch is bad?

-outside left rear door handle doesn't work. can't tell by looks but the plastic lever part inside cracked when it was really cold. i have a new one but i need to get some paint first. anyone know a good place to get G87P aerosol?

-odometer light is burnt out, but the clock lights up/works!

oh and i got stinky oil in my trunk that dripped out of a d-series tranny the other day. almost got the smell gone but boy it was bad for a couple days

really that's about it, everything else is good. car has almost 193,000 miles

Co Accord

I have a 1992 Accord 2Dr Ex auto. About a week ago at idle when I depress the brake petal weither in N or D (with P brake on) a "ticking / clicking noise is heard coming from the dash area. When I opened the hood and had my son press the brake petal the sound is coming from the silver fuel injection case that has the vaccum hose from the master brake unit going to it. The car has 158,000 on it. Any ideas?

Slammed95Cord

yep none of my windows were working and i found out why... the plug that i was putting into my new switch was fried... burnt plastic everywhere... woofin honda in richmond is pulling the part for me tmw morning and im splicing it in... anything else i need to worry about besides cleaning the female end of the plug inside the switch of all the melted plastic?

Arthas

Since the main switch didnt work, none of the other switches worked?

L.a.

i got a list ...cluster need new bulbs, cel turns on sometimes, got a brake line replaced now the abs light stays on as soon as i move the car,shifts hard, ebrake disconnected on driver side,windows are slow,...

Slammed95Cord

yeah for some reason all of the doors individual switches didnt work... checked all fuses, all good... when i plugged the switch in this morning just to test it the passenger window and rear windows rolled up which they were stuck down, driver window didnt budge, thats when i unplugged the switch and looked at the plug and saw all the burnt plastic

Dumped CB7

I just bought a 1990 accord CB7, and i bought under the impression the clutch was out, the body and interior/engine itself looks freaking awesome. When i push the clutch in to start the car it starts right up but when i push the clutch in it wont go into gear, but if i roll it itll go into gear. I just got the clutch in, had to stop cause its have to work soon but have about an hour left of work, just curious if the clutch was the problem.. The Bearing that goes onto the Fork in the transmission( The Old one) as i pulled it off the upper clip was broken, it had 2 of the clips but like i said top was gone.. could that of cause the car to not go into gear? i got the new one on though and bought some brake fluid radiator fluid and some syncromesh to get it all some new fluids, just any help would be appreciated, Thanks Dumped CB7

ok windows fixed... new problem... 2 yrs ago i didnt change my brake pads in time and i hyper extended the caliper piston... installed new caliper... i guess i didnt bleed the brakes right cuz they started going to the floor... fast forward to today i change all pads bled the brakes the right way and the pedal still goes to the floor... had someone helping me this time so i know i did it right... my mechanic said check the brake booster and master cylinder

steex

I have a 2000 honda accord and about a month ago my passenger window started to make this clicking sound when it got near the top. And now it doesn't go all the way up.

Slammed95Cord

bled the brakes again today... unbolted the master cylinder and pulled it out didnt see any fluid on the shaft... gonna just take it up to the honda/acura specialist in the morning to see if they can find a hole in the lines

Arthas

If you had holes, wouldnt it just sink??


-ABS light wont go away
-CEL for P0420 is on
-Passenger window isnt working; I probably didnt connect the harness when I did the speaker.

Slammed95Cord

it was a bad master cylinder.... shop wanted 200 somethin to do it... went to the honda recycle and got a master for 30$ and put it in myself... pressure is back... rebleeding the brakes in the correct order tmw morning and installing a new tie rod... the recycle gave me the whole steering rack for 40$

Arthas

I love it when they give you good prices!!!

The local one gives great prices but sometimes when the bitch daughter is working, shell jack up the price for everything.
Last time she charged my friend $30 for a resistor box and a DSM injector harness.

The latch on the fuel filler door is broken on mine, so if you close it all the way you usually have to prise it open while someone pulls the release lever..

Instead, I usually have to close it in but not entirely flush , or i will have serious trouble opening it the next time..

Any idea where I can get the various parts for this?

Thanks

Slammed95Cord

no idea on the parts but i know on some cars u can push on the opposite side of where it opens and sometimes get enough leverage to open it... never tried on my accord

Just bought the car last week...a couple days ago check engine light comes on...got it read and its P0420.
Hopefully I dont have to replace the cat. Any fixes or suggestions on what to do? I just have to pass emissions so that I can register the car.

Wasup, I got a 97 CD5 EX coupe with 130k

When I drive straight theres a small "squeeky" noise coming from the front driverside wheel.

Freeway speed it goes away, but in the city I can hear it when my windows down.

Doubt it is an axle or cv joint problem being that it doesnt make that "clunk/knock" noise.
And its only when im driving straight, not while turning.

Any ideas Honda Genies?

Hey guys, As some of you may know the 97 Accord SE came with a Keyless Entry and Factory Alarm, I have a problem with my Keyless Entry, sometimes it opens and locks every time I press the button and sometimes when I press the unlock or lock button it does nothing, could it be a relay going bad?

Slammed95Cord

my 94 EX was doing the same thing and also making a slight knock/bump when driving 55+ ... felt like a flat spot in the tire...

turned out the outer tie rod was bad.... bought a steering rack from the honda recycler and took the tie rod off it and slapped it on my car...

have yet to test it because of other issues....

clutch pedal release point....

still having brake problems with the pedal going to the floor after changing master cylinder and bleeding them numerous times...

someone said i should have bench bled the master before i put it on but i didnt... looks like i just gotta keep bleeding them
