Oarsman Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi all Having a problem... car still running BUT ... Tailgate opening button not working from outside (electrically) but can open manually from inside Passenger left front window not working Wing mirror left passenger not working and heater demist system not working Flashers not working when locking / unlocking car Note: these electrical problems above have been seasonal for the last 5 years - i.e. warm periods NO PROBLEMS AT ALL and then colder / wetter periods THE PROBLEMS APPEAR suddenly UNTIL this summer when the problems persisted Anyone recognise this set of issues and any potential remedy? I am having it looked by a dealership next week rgds Oarsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hi....welcome to the Forum Certainly sounds like water ingress in a body control unit. Alternative thoughts are maybe it could be some wiring in the tailgate area so when the tailgate opens and closes it breaks the wiring in the loom which connects the two. Can give loads of strange faults, easy to check and repair though Let us know how you get on with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oarsman Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thank you Trevor - much appreciated! I'm going to Reading Honda garage on Wednesday so this information is excellent and does fit with some thoughts I was having. best regards Carl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oarsman Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Fixed. It was a relay in the front passengers door - this was replaced at circa £200 and rectified all the electrical issues! Relacing bulbs in headlamps also a pain to do, Honda did this for me actually. Reading Honda have the details if anyone is interested - James is the contact. Now onto fixing the particulate filter which won't re-generate now .... quite expensive to replace as you will all realise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Glad to hear you have a positive result with not too much cost involved. Interesting to know it was a faulty relay at fault. Good luck with the DPF...there are companies that can pressure clean them off the car and this will be a lot cheaper than a replacement item. Let us know how it all goes.

Trunjent Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi Oarsman Have the exact same problem with my electrics. You wouldn't have the part number for the relay or the exact location of it. Woud it be the switch for the passenger side window? Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
