pasadena_commut replied to the thread Airbag light momentarily.

Is that the passenger seat airbag light? The weight sensors for those systems can be really finicky. I had a Civic where that would...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Key fob an rear hatch trouble shooting.

Another vote for "check the battery voltage before installing it". I too have encountered "new" batteries which were basically flat....

pasadena_commut replied to the thread replaced cell but still getting triangle of death.

Was anything done to match the voltage on the replacement module to the rest of them before installing it?

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Lubricate throttle spring and axle - with what?.

It is roughly the color of brass tarnish, so vinegar would probably remove it. That isn't going to affect the function of the part....

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Should I get a Prolong/Maxx Volts charger for my new OEM pack?.

The whole pack????? You know there are parts in there that you need to keep, right? The OEM battery the Dealer sells is basically just...

I'm curious how Grants Pass, which will be around a 750 mile round trip, turned out to be the place to buy this since there are at least...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Stumped.

Have you cleaned the HV battery fan? They can get very dirty and clogged up, especially if you let a dog ride in the vehicle.

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Cigarette port in center console dead under dash one works.

This. Perhaps the parking brake had to be adjusted, that hardware is under there (even though the pedal is far away). Instructions for...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread '06 with P0A80 code. Replace traction battery with new OEM, or ___?.

More likely a leak than the salt air. Note in the picture the patch of rust on the metal support, directly above that connector, but...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Hybrid Battery Lifespan.

Besides what dolj said, I also suggest that you open the shipping case in the dealer's lot (or very close by) and inspect the battery....

pasadena_commut liked dolj's post in the thread Hybrid Battery Lifespan.

That's not very feasible, especially for a first-timer. Some parts from the old battery need to be reused on the new battery. To...
