I have a honda accord 2004 and when the air conditioner is on the lights dim for a brief sec.about every 12 to 15 sec.when the fan starts up it even does this when the motor is cold . I have taken this to the dealer and they say it is a normal thing for this car. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have been getting alot of blue-green corrosion around my battery terminals. It still happened after I replaced my battery. It seems that this is caused by the tin wearing off on my battery terminals exposing the copper. While I will consider replacing my terminals at some point, I currently have...

There seems to be many companies and dealers that sell Honda parts online, but I am looking for one that sells more than just the standard stuff. For example, I need a replacement part for my 97 accord that is a module consisting of a plastic framed piece with the integrated door handle and power...

If I was to remove the rear trailing arm on the 1991 Integra, would I need to disconnect the parking brake cable at the equalizer in order to remove it from the control arm? Or will that big rubber donut somehow pass through its hole in the trailing arm once it's oriented just the right way? (I'm...

Hi all - haven't been here in a while and I really don't have time to post regularly again but I thought it'd be worth posting this one... which I'd been trying to figure for a while. My '92 Integra (soon to be sold/traded or whatever) developed a creak in a ball joint - only when weather was...

Need people's expertise here. I have a 92 VX with the VTEC-E. I'm having problems with something I have yet to discover. My question is ... In my quest for the search of my problem, is there a way to manually activate the VTEC to always be on. Right now, The VTEC-E is set to activate at...

Hi. I have a '90 Civic and the trailing arm bushings are toast. Local dealer wants $60 plus change plus tax each. Anyone know of a less expensive source for these? Thanks, WW

A friend's daughter has a 1990Civc that she bought new. The car has perfect body work, and she has all routine and scheduled maintinance. LAst weekend on the way back from Red River gorge it would hesitate so badly on the interstate that she got off at the first chance and drove back on the slower...

I have a 92 Honda Accord LX with 181,000 miles. Is anyone using high milage or synthetic oils in thier high milage Hondas. Do these oils help extend the life of your vehicle? spaceaze

Hello, I was on a trip back to my home on a 2-lane highway tonight, and I was about 50 miles out when my charging system warning light came on my dash. I made it home with no incident. I had to have my headlights on because it was dark. I cut all my other accessories when the light came on and for...

Hi there I had a debate with a co-worker about tires today. I have 4 Michelin Pilot MXM4 (All-Season P205/55 R16 89V) and I find them loud. My co-worker told me that the road noise is mostly from these tires and that low-rolling-resistance tires are hard, so they're loud. Is this true? First are...

My 1992 Dodge Caravan is getting old (it runs well, been lucky..at 150,000) and I am planning to buy a minivan this summer. It won't be a new one. It will be most likely 2 to 4 years old depending on the model. I noticed that Ford minivans are the cheapest, followed by Dodge. The Toyota Siennas and...

I have a 1997 Honda Accord with about 140K miles. The seat belt on the drivers side doesnt retract well anymore. Often the belt gets caught in the door when I leave the car. Perhaps this is normal wear and tear on the seat belt mechanism after so many miles. Just wondering if anyone has a similar...

Sure -- there might be enough power to turn over the engine, but perhaps other components (like ignition) are starving. On a cold day you could have starting problems. A bad starter is usually either turning normally, not turning (open connection somewhere), turning way too quickly (relay not...

Hi, I'm the original owner of a 2000 Honda Accord EX, 4 cylinder, manual transmission, 99K miles, no accidents. My car has stalled while driving it about 10 times over the 5 years I've owned it. It usually happens at speeds < 40mph, and when it occurs, all of my dashboard lights come on and I...

Has anyone had trouble with the front end banging on 04 Accord?

The "H" emblem on the rear of the trunk of 2001 Honda Civic LX was stolen. What do you call it? Where can I get another one, and is this something that I can replace myself?

OK guys, need some quick advice. Went out to get lunch and nothing happens when I turn the key. No radio, no click, no nothing. Happened a few weeks ago, then stated fin the next day, and ever since. I figure it's the ignition switch, or loose harness to the switch. Any chance the main relay...

Hi all, I am finally in a place in my life where I can buy a car I really like. The only cars that I've ever driven that are kinesthetically pleasing to me are European--BMWs, Mercedes, even a Volvo wagon and a Peugeot. I just much prefer the suspension, the feel of the steering, etc. I've never...

I have heard other people talk of this, so I hope some one out there knows the answer. The passenger seat belt in my 2000 Honda Civic DX is unlike the driver side seat belt. The driver side belt will extend and retract as the driver moves about, and only locks up if you try to extend it...
