Well the fuse is fairly easy to check. It's in the underhood box on the driver side, near the battery. I think you count down 5 fuses in that middle row while facing the car from the front.

Styxxed - Thank you very much for being so helpful. I have a 2005 Honda Pilot. At some point before I bought the vehicle the ignition was changed. Today I went to put the key that opens the door in and for some reason it triggered the anti theft alarm system. I use a different key to start the ignition. To make matters worse... I have no remote and even if I did... It still would not help the problem.

How can I just disconnect the alarm system all together so I can put my horn fuse back in?

I am currently having to crank my car... wait for the lights to stop blinking... then I have to disconnect the battery to keep the lights from flashing while the car is turned off. Help

AC not working

Honda Pilot 2010 touring 240000 miles
The day after the AC unit was recharged I was driving home. It was hot out so I had the AC on, suddenly I smelled a burnt plastic smell and the AC stopped working and began blowing only hot air. I turned the AC off and waited for about 30 minutes before trying it again. Its now been a week and the AC is still not working. When I turn the heat up to HI I do not hear the blend door anymore. Any ideas on what exactly needs too be fixed?

2007 Honda pilot exl from United States a year ago
I had the same issue, and what I had to do is replace the ac compressor. I have a 2007 pilot and went to a junk yard to find one, and got one for 55 dollars compared to the new price of 300 or more for the replacement. The way you take it out isn’t hard at all either, I was able to use just normal tools like sockets and wrenches

Thank you SO much! I’ll search the junkyard to find one.
Jomoma from United States a year ago
You get it from the junk yard you'll have to bring your old one to get it for 55$ or so otherwise it'll run you about 100$. Mind you, you'll also have to evac all your refrigerant first and get it refilled after you replaced the compressor. That in and of itself is expensive. It's not like an alternator were you just replace the part and donzo.

2012 Honda Pilot infotainment center no power

Honda Pilot 2012  124000 miles
Problem happened a long while ago. The info center would sometimes just not turn on when starting the car. Then randomly turn on and everything was fine. When it is off there is also no power to the 12v outlet and you can not see the temp settings for the AC or heater.
I checked every fuse and relay, did some swapping of them around and nothing makes it come on again. I pulled the head unit out and made sure there wasn't a loose connection. I am not sure where the power cut is at.

Car starts but turns off after accelerating

Honda Pilot 2004  250000 miles
My car turns on but when accelerating over 2000 it turns off. The radio stays on but I can’t drive. I’ve already replaced the battery, No engine light is on and I’m wondering if this could be related to a fuel pump issue or a crank shaft sensor… that’s what the mechanic said but anyone else have ideas? Suggestions?

Locked Back Window, and Glovebox

Honda Pilot 2015  139187 miles
Last weekend, I was trying to put a new camera in the back hatch. Got everything apart, but discovered the back window locked, and went to see about fuses in the glovebox, and it's locked also... Are they on the same fuse, or what might cause this? Any ideas

Windows/Sun Roof Auto Open Feature Problem

Honda Pilot 2019  70000 miles
I am aware my 2019 Honda Pilot has a 3 click key fob feature to crack windows sunroof. While I'm. Not a fan of the feature, my problem is much more inconvenient and could be dangerous.
When I turn the car off, the windows and sun roof open automatically. To make matters worse, the problem only occurs intermittently.
I've read the feature can be disabled in models beginning in 2020.
By chance, is there a fuse I might be able to replace to solve this issue?

Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the vehicle.
