    Hello, fellow Element owners, About 8 years ago, I noticed that my battery dies every 2 years. Just like now. Any of you have similar situation? I buy replacement batteries most often at AutoZone’s Duralast and one time an OEM from Honda, Glendale. The cables and posts, the battery carrier...

    Out of town for a few days and returned to a totally dead 2005 Honda Element. Nothing was left on while I was gone (husband confirms he didn’t see any lights or anything on).

    I upgraded to an Odyssey Extreme series 24F AGM battery. It seems to work great. I put a Bluetooth battery monitor on it a couple weeks ago and I’m consistently getting notifications that my cranking voltage is low (6.02 V). All other metrics are normal. Thoughts? Wondering if I got a defective...

    This has been frustrating me so much i've made an account here to ask for help. I have a 2004 Element EX with only around 151k miles on it.

  14. Problems & Issues
    I have a 2006 Element and my driver's side passenger door won't close all the way. I spoke with a body shop and they can replace the parts that need to be fixed so the door can close properly. It closes but not enough for the dash light to go out. I have turned my dome light off but are there...

    TL;DR version: My battery light is still coming on despite replacing the battery and alternator. Help? Two weeks ago, the battery light on my 2005 Element came on. I had it tested at my local Autozone and they deemed that the alternator was going on it. Foolishly, I drove it to work the next...
