Just ordered the part on Amazon because leather seats in California with summer on its way was rough last summer glad I found your page now I need to see how to replace motor for sunroof
I used the link for the part and the video for instruction. I was able to fix it in under 15 minutes. You saved me lots of time and money (and 2 teens complaining). Thank you!
Thanks! Informative. Thanks for taking time to share. I've added it to my Pilot Playlist. It seemed to me that it measured as a failure in the bench test. I'm gonna look at mine. I've imagined the worst so haven't really investigated. Thanks again
Hello! I have an 02 MDX. Read AC doesnt work I did what the video shows. But no luck. I notice the rear AC buttons/lights (orange lights) dont work. Maybe that’s my problem…. May I ask, what you would do to fix that? Probably a fuse?
some say to put ac/heater into 'test mode'. put key in position II, then press and hold both 'off' and 'defrost' buttons - until you see some led flash 5 times. then you release the two buttons. but when i tried this pressing my 'dash defrost' button and 'off' - nothing happened (no lights flashed). instead it just turned on the unit. and when i tried pressing my 'rear windows defrost' button and 'off'. it caused the led above the 'rear defrost' button to solidly illuminate. im obviously not understanding how to do this. can anyone add the missing info please?
Common problem apparently. Bought the Amazon part, put it in fixed that problem, but created another. Can’t listen to radio due to horrendous ignition type noise in audio system when engine is running, even with volume turned completely down. If it’s just in ignition on position, it’s quiet until engine is started. Unplug the new resistor it’s quiet again. I suspect either faulty grounding in new resistor or bad ground in nav/audio system. The noise also shows on the nav display.🤬
That sounds awful. Do you think it's a QC problem? I didn't have an issue like you described. This method worked for me, might be worth a return with Amazon and try again? Returns are so easy with Amazon.
@@tminustoday It does sound awful, literally. I won't have time to troubleshoot again until Saturday afternoon and the first thing I'm checking is for a good ground in the Nav/audio; then adding a new dedicated body ground. to that system before I try it again with the new resistor. It is a 16 yr old vehicle, maybe something came loose.
The rear AC on my 2005 Pilot stopped working. Checked the 30 AMP fuse in the fuse box under the hood first. The took it to the local Honda dealer. They said it was the transistor and the blower motor--$1800 to replace both. Bought the transistor from Amazon and that fixed it--less than $20!. In your case, if it's not the transistor or a blown fuse, then it's probably the blower motor itself. I think they're less than $200 online and there are some good videos here on YT as to how to replace it. Doesn't look too difficult.
I know you made this video 2 years ago. So, first, I hope all is well with you and your family. Second, as is customary for DIY YT videos, I want to thank you. While other videos were also helpful, yours was the most thorough in regards to showing everything, starting with the removal of the plastic panel. I did not know the rear air was not working as I rarely ride in the back. During a road trip, my sister in law told me I didn’t not have air. lol!! I just got home, watched your video, ordered my Amazon part and got things working again, God bless you brother!!! 👍🏾
Thank you. Helped me for 2004 Honda Pilot. Saw other videos but needed one that actually showed how to get the plastic piece off too lol 😂

Thank you for clear and detailed video - inspiring to attempt myself to fix it
So easy! Fixed my car. Thanks!
This helped out a lot thought I needed my dads help but did it on my own thank you!
Great job!

Thanks for sharing!
Thank you saved me so much money 💵
¡¡¡GRACIAS GRACIAS, TU VIDEO ME AHORRO TIEMPO Y DINERO Y LO MEJOR, MIS HIJOS YA NO SUFREN EN EL ASIENTO TRASERO!!!
Thank you for the video!
Thank you !! you definitely saved me some money.
I will fix my Honda Pilot in Florida thanks.
Just did it on my Pilot - thx.

Imma do this my 03 EX L mine stopped working a few months ago
I have the same issue , but can it also be the motor ?

Is the resistor supposed to be super hot? Google said yes, this may be a stupid question, but I just want to be safe.

Just 1 question is there a fuse for this thing
Yes it is, pup the hood open is on the fuse box on the left side wen you open the hood, os a 30 A fuse, it actually say on the fuse box cover
How did you know it was the resistor
I didn't, I just guessed. I figured $15-20 bucks wasn't the worst loss if it wasn't it.
Tried this , it didn’t fix it , can’t figure out what’s going on .

Hey man! Where is that transistor located? Or is that what this video is showing being replaced?@@bobbyg212
