Replacing Low Beam Headlamp NOTE: Left Low Beam Headlamp M29 and Right Low Beam Headlamp M31 can be checked via output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) of Vehicle Electrical System Control Module J519. Removing: Switch off ignition and all electrical components and move ignition key or start button into position 0 (preliminary engaged position). NOTE: During removal and installation, leave ignition key with remote control inside the vehicle to prevent the doors from locking and possibly activating the “Coming Home / Leaving Home” functions on its own. In order to be able to replace low beam headlamp, it is sometimes necessary to remove neighboring components at the corresponding headlamp. Refer to the following tables to determine additional component removal as required, depending on engine. NOTE: Low beam headlamp bulb -2- is clipped into the reflector -1-. When removing low beam headlamp bulb – 2-, the harness connector – 3-is not disconnected first. Push harness connector and thereby the lamp socket in -direction of arrow- until the lamp can be felt as loose. Pull low beam headlamp at harness connector -3- out of reflector. Pull low beam headlamp -2- from harness connector -1-. Installing: NOTE: When installing cap, ensure proper seating. Water intrusion will damage headlamp. Do not touch the glass of the light bulb, when installing. Your fingers will leave traces of grease on the glass which, when the light is switched on, will evaporate and cloud the glass. Install in reverse order of removal, noting the following: Guide low beam headlamp into headlamp housing.

Honda Odyssey Rear Window Fix

For those Honda Odyssey owners tired of replacing rear window motors at approximately %200 to %300 each here is a simple fix. A design flaw creates the failure. A PTC Thermistor was used to limit motor drive current when the motor reached end limits. For you Rnon Engineer types that is a Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistor, (thermal resistor). This device presents a low cold resistance of approximately 10 to 15 Ohms in series with the motor to limit motor current. As temperature increases resistance increases to over 150 Ohms when hot. The motor assembly was engineered this way to limit current to a stalled motor when the window is fully open or closed. This prevents a motor burn out or fire. The problem is thermistors are notoriously unstable over time with repeated temperature cycling. The failure mode of these devices is to increase resistance, decrease current flow and render the motor inoperable. The fix is actually very simple. One of the nice characteristics of a light bulb is that it too has a PTC. Unlike the thermistor, a light bulb resistance curve is very stable over time with repeated temperature cycling. The trick is to choose a light bulb with sufficient wattage and voltage rating that will pass the required current for normal operation but limit over current to prevent a motor burnout or fire. Here is the procedure I used to modify both of my window actuators on my 2002 Odyssey.

NOTE: Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components. Take care not to scratch the front seat, dashboard, and related parts. 1. Detach the clips (A, B), and release the hooks (C) by pulling the center console trim (D) from both sides. 2. Open the console box lid (A) then remove the console mat (B) and screws (C, D). 3. Slide the rear section of the center console (A) rearward to release the hooks (B). 4. Lift up the rear of the console (A). Release the harness retainer clip (B) from the air duct, and disconnect the console accessory power socket connector (C), the light bulb socket connector (D), and the AUX connector (E), then remove the rear section of the center console. 5. Install the console in the reverse order of removal, and note these items: Check if the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, and if necessary, replace them with new ones. Push the clips into place securely. Make sure the console accessory power socket connector and the AUX connector are plugged in properly, and the light bulb socket is connected securely.
