2003-2011 Honda Element: Rear of vehicle is squeaky, help!

Sun, 08 May 2022 10:43:17 -0700

My 2007 Honda Element is very squeaky. It appears that the noise is coming from the rear wheels of the vehicle and happens when the car is turning and sometimes just driving down the road. I have taken it to my mechanic, and they looked it over. They said there is nothing wrong with it besides it needing to be lubed up. They said my brakes, bushings, etc. are all fine. They lubed it up and it is only slightly better. They told me that I will have to get them to do it every few months until it is saturated. They did not charge me for anything, which is good. There has to be something that none of us are seeing. Please help!

Honda Element: Why is my power window motor running continuously?

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 11:30:34 -0700

I have a problem with the driver side power window on 2003 Element. The window went down but will not return. The odd thing is that the window motor seems to be running regardless of whether the switch is activated. In fact, once I stopped and turned off the engine, and even accessories, the motor continued to make noise so that I had to pull the fuse to get it to stop. What could be the problem with that window motor continuing to whir?

Honda Element: Erratic voltmeter readings that vary from 12.1v to 13.7v

Sat, 04 Feb 2023 11:18:10 -0700

Mounted a known good VDO voltmeter tapping into the ACC fuse slot in the underdash fuse box. When driving the readings were 13.7v most of the time, BUT once every 2-3 hours, the voltage would drop to 12.1v for five-ten minutes before rising back up to 13.7. None of the warning lights come on at any time. My interpetation is that when it was reading 12.1, that was merely the battery voltage.

The Honda charging circuit is simple: the B+ thick red wire goes directly to one lug of a 100A fuse (#19 under the hood), the other lug goes directly to the battery. A four wire cable goes to the ECM.

Mechanics have installed another good alternator, serpentine belt, 100A fuse and B+ thick red wire with no change in reading behavior.

The vehicle runs normally, the battery is good and holds a charge, and in all other respects the car acts as it should. Am speculating that there might be an ECM component intermittent, but am loath to do a blind replacement without a specific cause.

What could be happening?

Welcome your analysis and thoughts

Thanks

2003-2011 Honda Element: Honda Element 2006 O2 SENSORS

Fri, 21 Jan 2022 21:07:49 -0700

I have a 2006 Honda Element. Last year, check engine light test showed bad O2 sensor(s). I ordered parts and replaced. About 6 months later, check engine light - again, refers to O2 sensor. So I asked a mechanic about it - why are they going bad??

He said that 99% of the time, Honda Element owners are sold the wrong sensors. I cannot recall which one of the two, but he said one of them is usually wrong! I am wondering if this is accurate and I installed the wrong one - guy said this happens a lot??

He said the one that is usually wrong (I am thinking the downstream, but not certain) - costs about $100 more than the one that people are typically sold.

This mechanic has moved and I just want to make sure I order the correct sensors!!! Apparently - when you enter correct info about your Honda - one of the sensors is most often wrong. Can anyone help?? :))))))

Thank you in advance, Jenni
