Here's what happened: My old (14+ years) Honda-supplied warranty fulfillment battery has been just fine over these many years, with one of two or even three recals annually... And I grid charge as a matter of course twice a year (per my calendar reminder) or after each recal. No problems. I usually grid charge overnight to 24 hours, which brings the voltage up to ~177v (and I have never deep discharged at all)... Did I revive my old battery by mistake ..read more

My AC compressor will not turn on unless its in off mode or Econ AC/off mode The ac seems to be in great shape when it comes on. It gets cold fast. I found evidence to the problem.

$500 $400 $300 Shipped USA I bought a hard-wire MIMA kit from Mike Dabrowski, but at the same time I bought a house, and since then I've never had the time to get it going.

The kit has the pre-programmed MIMA unit with V1.6 software, joystick, wires, heat shrink, joystick PCB, etc. There are a few pages of printed-out instructions on how to make...

I've been searching and reading through many hatch lock related threads and see a 3D printed part that has fixed many hatch problems, but my problem is different than the "hatch won't open" that most seem to be experiencing in the threads I read. My 05 hatch opens just fine when I press the hatch release button under the hatch or with a key turn, but when I turn the key to lock it, I hear a sound like it locked, but if I push the hatch release button it opens.... so there is no way to lock... Hatch not locking ..read more

Hi All, I want to install a backup camera on my 2010 Honda Insight but am not sure how to remove the hatch lift gate panel. Any reference to a manual, tools needed etc. would be very helpful. The backup camera is placed atop the license plate and wired. I would like to run the wires through the license plate lights? and through the liftgate to the top right (where there is a rubber enclosure for other wires) and then through the floor (bottom right, passenger side) all the way to the front...
