I had noticed a burning odor a few days prior through my vents. I took the car to my mechanic this morning and the headlight problem was due to an electrical malfunction and the wires had been melted that are associated with the headlights. Thankfully i had not been driving…

The low-beam headlight switch fails repeatedly. When i replaced it, i noticed what appears to be heat damage on the wiring harness connector. I have replaced the combination low-beam/high-beam/turn signal unit three times in the last 7 months. *tt updated 01/17/12 *bf

2004 honda cr-v. Both headlight low beams stopped functioning at the same time. High beams still work on both headlights. Replacing headlight lamps and fuses did not fix the problem (both low beams still not functioning). I will be going to a mechanic this coming week to get repairs. I suspect it is a malfunctioning electrical switch. *tr

While driving both dim headlights went out. I pulled over and realized the bright head lights did work while the dims no longer worked. After replacing both bulbs and realizing they still did not work. I investigated the issue and after visually inspecting the wiring harness that plugs into the combination switch (blinker/headlight control) there is obvious signs of heat damage and electrical corrosion. *tr the low…

Both low beam headlights failed simultaneously. Subsequently repaired at a honda dealer. Repair required a new hi/lo beam switch and connector/wiring harness. I requested old parts and upon inspection, one of the metal connector pins (male and female) was discolored (black) due to heating with some distortion and discoloration of the connector block due to heating. Attached wire also discolored due to heating. *tr

Both lowbeam headlights both stopped working at the same time. I replaced both bulbs but they still did not work. No fuses had burnt out, so started to research. After checking online, i opened the plastic casing to the steering column, and found that the switch had burned and the plastic melted. This is obviously defective wiring on the part of honda, otherwise the fuse for the headlights would have burned out…

2004 honda crv - air conditioning compressor stopped working. Made loud popping noise. When i opened the hood you could smell smoke. I noticed sparks and smoke coming from the ac compressor. I bought this crv new in 2004 and had not had any problems prior to this. The honda dealer that i purchased this from says that it will cost $2400 to fix it as it basically needs an entire new ac installed. I searched the web to…

Vehicle headlights low beam start failing on drivers side. Burning out often - while other side headlight remained stable. Replace headlights (both sides) many times after that - only to have the drivers side fail after about a year and a half. Drivers side headlight would also change to very dim while other side remained bright. Probably similar to a flashlight, - needing batteries. Would always flick bright lights…
