Hi,first post here after owning an FRV for 7 years. All of a sudden when trying to open the door with fob the locks click open and shut again within a second.
If quick enough you can open the door if timed right but that's it and the rest of the car stays shut,even locking you in the car until forcing the little lock part towards door to get out.
Any ideas what the problem is? It did stop for a day or two then came back again
It sounds like its "bouncing"
A spring would have snapped inside the lock mechanism and doesn't offer any more resistance inside the lock. A new lock would solve the problem in most cases. Sounds like the drivers lock because that's the master that tells the other locks to open.

- Newly acquired CL9 Accord (after missing so much the one i sold in 2017)

Look forward to sharing all things Honda with you all.

Thanks Trevor.
I'm an auto electrician with 20 years experience. Hopefully, I might be able to assist somebody on here at some point.

Try looking at your crank sensor. They usually don't start when warm but this is also a symptom.

I know the answer.
A can bus radio does not have an ignition. It works via your can bus system.
In your original wiring loom, you won't have one for your new radio. You need to find a new ignition supply near the fuse box and put a 7.5 amp fuse in line with the new supply. This will then go to the ACCESSORY WIRE, usually yellow at the back of your radio.
-
The loom on your vehicle would also be used for other vehicles with different equipment different to yours.
If there aren't any warning lights on and everything is working fine, there's no need to worry about it......

Either a broken wire or faulty locking motor usually. You'll find the broken wire inside a rubber tube in the door jam.

Hello,
New to the group.
I'm looking for some help, had my battery replaced which has now reset my radio and sat nav and looking for any help on how to source it.
I've scrolled through youtube looking for answers but my model of stereo doesn't seem to be there.
I have attached a picture of it. There is a card in the handbook with the serial number but no radio code.
Any help is appreciated.
Ross
Ross M Do you know your serial number???

Battery issue is my first thoughts.....either the charging system is faulty or the battery earth and/or power leads are loose
Agreed. As an auto electrician, it is usually the battery or alternator at fault. Over/under voltage.

Interior light bulb replacement
in CR-V 2007 to 2011

Hello there.
You can go lower on the wattage without any problems. Only difference being is that it won't be as bright.
I have led festoons on my FRV. you need to put them in the right way round though or they won't work. I've never had a problem with mine blowing fuses because LED lights draw less current than a standard bulb.
