I have a 2003 ex coupe, standard transmission, all of my buttons just suddenly stopped glowing when I turn my parking and headlights on, why is this.

I know the wheel speed sensors can cause this same issue, along with if the windshield is cracked at the top but I believe i have narrowed mine down to. Maybe being the ABS module

CommentLights on dash
Honda Accord 2013 275000 miles
A few months ago I had several lights come on: ABS , power steering, brake, and tire pressure. After taking it to a shop I was told than an ABS sensor was malfunctioning due to an ABS flap on the passenger side getting stuck and that it can’t be fixed. They are not constantly on and some days don’t come on at all. Recently, my TPS light has started blinking. I’ve checked pressure, recalibrated, and even checked the spare. What could be the actual cause of all this? Performance of car has not changed at all and still gets 40-ish miles to a gallon. It does have 275,000 miles

ABS maintenance is very fast, and the welding point in the pump falls off, which is a common problem of Honda.

Trunk will not open in my Accord Tourer Diesel 2009 
Solved
Honda Accord 2009 DIESEL ESTATE 2.2l 150000 miles
All of a sudden the trunk will not open in my Accord Tourer Diesel 2009 neither manually or with the keyfob/internal button on the driver's door. Real pain as the only way to open it is by climbing inside the boot and operate the manual emergency release.
No warnings showing on the dashboard and when the trunk is open I can still close it with the keyfob and button ! Checked fuse number 21 which is still ok , replaced it with new spare available but still no joy. Planning to also try and replace the 40a green square fuse though I think I'm wasting time on that as the electric closing does wor… Read complete

Best answer (according to MARCUS)
Totally by chance ! My son was pulling the door handle to open the passenger door whilst I (think) I pressed the open button on the remote just a fraction of a second after he pulled the handle; I noticed all the indicator lights went on on all sides (this had also stopped working on opening and locking the car at the same time as the boot stopped opening). So I thought : "I wonder if this has done something to the boot too ?" I went to check and bingo!!! The boot opened normally again with the button on its door!!! I remember I solved a similar problem in the same way when I had a VW Passat many years ago...there seems to be a secret way these doors are programmed !
I am just so very glad I didn't take the car anywhere to sort this issue out (as I was planning to do ) as I'm sure I would have spent a fortune with no resolution. I hope this may help someone

CommentVehicle stalls during driving, sometimes it won't start, engine light
Honda Accord 2009 2.4L EX-L 261000 miles
Vehicle has 261,000. It shows very erratic behaviour.
- Sometimes it won't start.
- Sometimes it will start and run but it later stalls and engine will shut off while driving; the immobilizer light [green key] comes on blinking when car stalls, but then it disappears once the key is turned to 0 and then car will start again.
- It shows an engine light which disappears all of the sudden just to re-appear later on.
The codes are always P060A and P1659.
- It just recently started showing also other codes, such as: P0498, P2118, P062F, P2610, and P2118. - I have replaced almost every relay an… Read complete

Main relay under the left side of the dash is interconnected with the Immobilizer system and the relay from Honda is a well known issue as it can heat up which causes the solder to crack causing the relay to eventually fail and in the meantime behave erratically. Seriously, everything that has happened to you guys has happened to me, including it cutting off while I was doing 8 in the fast lane surrounded by rush hour traffic and nearly died wrestling the no longer power steering wheel to the shoulder. Waiting 10 sometimes works but I’m not really buying into that because I read on a forum post about the relay problem and that in the meantime you can try smacking the cover of the fuse box with the faulty relay inside. It located under the dashboard and actually on the side wall of the car. You have to remove the panel under the steering column to get access to that specific box, it is not the regular box on the right side imbedded into the center of the dashboard where all of the control fuse for lights and crap are. I’ve been employing the foot tap method for 5 straight days, in the heat (because it seems to be worse and will start less if it’s hot outside) and it works every single time. I feel like Fonzie. I’m sure there’s more to it than that but regardless, I need my car to start as well as to not endanger my life by cutting off everything whilst exceeding the speed limit so I don’t get run over by my fellow drivers, because California, and all I can say is that as silly as it sounds, it’s effective in employing some sort of og magic and raising my temperamental ride from the recently dead.
Hi,can you please send a picture of this relay and location, or the part number? I have the SAME issues with my 2008 Accord and have stuck so many parts and money into it already and I am about to give up. Please help. Thank you :)
Valaraukar68 from United States 3 years ago
@mnldianI’m unable to get to my car atm but my magic spot, and it is a spot, not an area, is under the driver side dash but on the side wall on the left right up where the two meet. I just lift my foot and flick it against the cover there and bang! every time! Still! I know it’s hinky, but it works after a year’s worth of wrong information and advice, and I’m confident that eventually whatever is wrong with the relay(the crap factory soldering is supposed to be the main culprit) will get worse and I’ll have to replace it, or it could something completely different. All I know is some mechanic mentioned it in YouTube video and I gave it a try without hope in my heart as I had been let down repeatedly, only to have it work then and always, so far. I am and anyone else who tries it should be aware and paying attention all the time while driving because it can still cut out, but only has once and I put the car in neutral and restarted it immediately after a quick tap with my foot, but for a second there I was wrassling with a 2K automobile, in traffic and without power and most importantly, power steering, but all’s well that ends well.
@Valaraukar68I will take a look, just wondering what relay it might be. Thank you.
Valaraukar68 from United States 3 years ago
@mnldianIt’s the main relay, and you can google the diagram for your particular Honda. Mine is a ‘98, so things may be in a different place inside the cabin.
@mnldianPart number 25033 fuel pump relay, this is the only relay you will have NO issues with, the only one that has been working for years, before this I changed 3 different fuel pump relays on my Honda 2008

I kept stalling too , I added coolant to get it to start and move but it also kept wanting to shut off so I cleaned the MAP sensor( May be a MAF for your vehicle) and I also replaced the temp sensor valve on the throttle body hose, I think it was called intake airflow temperature sensor or something like that, with all those fixes my 2004 Honda Accord is running as smooth as ever and I have 214K miles
Greetings, I’m having the same issue with my Honda Accord 08, 2.4L EX-L. Has anyone figured out the problem? It’s very frustrating changing parts, spending money and the issue still occurs.
Chris Collins from United States a year ago
My 99 Accord was acting same way. Ignition Cable. Wiring harness that goes from Ignition to firewall undet drivers side. Like to never figured it out, and a mf to change.
My 2008 had P060A and P1659. I followed the instructions of some people solutions online by replacing new spark plugs, ignition, fuel pump. I also cleaned the throttle body, intake air tube, PVC valve, and camshaft sensor but nothing solved. Since my car could start but shutoff within minutes, I felt the symptom like the throttle body seemed not open or close properly or the ECU not operating properly. I saw an online of how to reset the ECU for the TB by someone for the Honda Accord earlier year. I applied it and it solved my car problem. The reset got the ECU relearned the throttle body. I believe my car started having issue after I attempted some unsuccessful starts during the freezing weather that had messed up the ECU and throttle body.
Is that the key turn on but not all the way, hold for 5 seconds and do 3 times?
The air conditioner buttons are not working. Is there a method to reprogram them or to diagnose the problem?

Check your ground connections. I have a 2006 v6 that had the same issues with not charging the battery even though the alternator and battery were replaced. The old alternator tested good so I unnecessarily threw away $270 bucks. The issue for me I eventually discovered, was the side engine mount bracket bolts had sheared and severed the ground connection. There’s a ground cable that bolts to the mount bracket. I replaced the bracket (the bolts were seized so I had to replace the whole thing) and problem solved.

It's definitely a process of elimination and a work in progress I'll let you know the outcome
Stickerpie from United States 2 years ago
They told me, the guy at the repair shop that put in the new alternator which was not putting out enough voltage and then in turn put in another alternator which is when I was getting the check charge system occasionally pop up on the dash said that that alternator was overcharging so I'm having a third alternator put in and we will see the outcome...
Sounds like you are chasing your tail. And the odds that you have two failed alternators is highly unlikely. At this point I’d be looking for an electrical repair specialist who can find the real issue. Most technicians will just keep throwing parts at the problem. Which obviously isn’t fixing it
My car is doing the same thing! 2015 Honda Accord Sport. 2 starters now won't crank up without by passing the ignition switch or Relay under the hood #31 black box in the fuse compartment.
So i have a 2014 exl i go to hit the push button start everything lights up i get one click and thats it battery tests perfect called honda cause i bought the 3 hear warranty they said key fob batteries that didnt do it so i was messing with the fuse box and bam starts right up... Next day same shit i get out tap the top of the fuse box and it starts right up.... Which relay was it in the 2015?
@TrevThere should be a diagram under the fuse box cover that tells you what relays and fuses are where. Try switching the starter and or ignition switch relay with an identical one from another socket. If the starting issue goes away, then you know it’s a bad relay
Um, it's down on the right side of the battery. Underneath the light sockets
I now have it to the point of taking battery cables off then on and it starts but won't fire up again until I repeat that process

My 2009 Accord Coupe 5 speed Airbag SRS warning light came on for no apparent reason. Car has not been in a collision and I rarely travel with a passenger. Around that time, I received a letter from Honda about an airbag inflator problem that would be repaired on recall. When Honda replaced the Inflator, the SRS light was still on (Dealer informed me that the light on had nothing to do with the recall) so they ran a code test - got 82-12 code - replaced passenger side weight sensor ($699). SRS light was still on. Ran code test - indicated if light stayed on to replace wire harness and if that doesn't fix the problem, replace OPDS Unit (quoted price $1054). Am disgusted. Honda dealer said it is caused by faulty electrical issue.
