  1. Do-It-Yourself / Mods
    In my never ending quest for more lighting on my element, I have added a factory dome light above the rear seats, in front of the sunroof in my 08 EX. It is powered by the same circuit that runs the front dome light and is compatible with the double dome jumper mod and front map lights as dome...
  2. Do-It-Yourself / Mods
    The inside of my Element was a bit dark, but now I've increased the front lighting with this easy afternoon job. The map lights (or spot lights) now turn on when opening the doors, and if you've done the double dome jumper mod it works with the hatch opening too! Video demo: Tools: Soldering...

    My 08 EX 5AT AWD needs a new starter and ground wire, among other things. I'd like to refurbish the starter I have, but I am not that mechanically inclined. Might save it for later, but in the meantime I need my car to work now. I try to do OEM when possible, but Mitsubas are $$$ and hard to...

    Looking to replace the junk that the previous owner had installed in the front doors (didn’t fit properly, and the foam was mutilated by the speaker grill, causing horrible vibration), and two units from the rear doors with rotted/blown foam. Ideally OEM, but will also accept whatever basic...

    Honda Element 05 My car battery kept dying if it sat untouched for a couple of days. Took to mechanic. He did a diagnosis test ($350) for a couple hours of work trying to find a short circuit. He finally narrowed it down to the instrument cluster. He said that the instrument cluster is...
  6. General Honda Element Discussion
    Hey all, Long-time fan, first-time caller. I recently purchased a 2004 AWD LX with 80k to replace my 2008 2WD EX with 230k miles on it. I'm planning on selling my 2008 E, possibly to my own Dad, but for now I'd like to strip any features I can off of the 2008. Right now I have the entire...
  7. Do-It-Yourself / Mods
    I was feeling inspired after doing the side indicator-blinker mod and rallied my lackluster electrical skills to do a 3rd brake light flasher. This was super easy with a kit that I got from This company: Universal Brake Light Flasher/Strober - M1 model [FLSHR_M1] - $19.95 : 3rd Brake Flasher Web...

    I have a 2004 Element, and I’ve had my car sitting for about 2/3 weeks waiting to go to the mechanic for a new control arm. I went to start the car and it would not start, I assumed it needed a jump and it didn’t. We got a new battery and came to found out the main power fuse was blown (#19...

    Hey, I've recorded a video documenting the sound that is happening. It started off as a solid buzzing sound only when i first started the car, but now its evolved into a strange on/off sequence buzz and I have no idea where its coming from, the sound persists for a few minutes after the key has...

    Hello Honda Element forum! I've got a weird one that hopefully some of you will have some insight on. Thank you ahead of time for your responses! My friend's 2006 Element intermittently doesn't start - no turn, no crank, no attempt whatsoever from the engine to start. Sometimes when you disable...

    My 2005 is at 114,000 miles and judging by other Hondas I have owned, I'm sure my starter motor is going to need replacement in the next 15,000 miles. If you have replaced your starter motor, could you please post what you replaced it with (Mitsuba, Bosch, Denso, Duralast, new vs...

    Hello all. First time poster, long time lurker with a confounding electrical problem. Our '04 E has 180K miles. Two week ago the electrical system started acting up. The typical pattern: 1. Radio cuts out - loses power. 2. A/C cuts out a few seconds later 3. ABS light comes on 4. Windows and...

    Im working on an 03 Honda element with a KA24. It was towed here, when i rolled it off the trailer it started right up. I drove it into the shop and decided to let it run a few minutes. I then shut it off and attempted to re-start it but got nothing. All it would do was crank over, but not fire...

    2006 EX-P with 125,000 miles. My odometer light suddenly went out about 10 days ago. What could the issue be? Fix? (Nothing seems adversely effected otherwise.)
  16. Problems & Issues
    Hey members, I'm dealing with an electrical issue right now. Battery is good, less than 6 months old, alternator is good, both tested. However, battery light keeps coming on, and it seems as though the battery is getting drained. My mechanic tightened all the wiring connections, light went out...
  17. Problems & Issues
    I read a bunch of the older posts on battery upgrades. I want a bigger battery than the OEM battery so I can run an upgraded stereo and amp. Audiophyle suggested the Duralast 24. Others recommend the Optima Yellow top. Old posts suggest all manner of things ranging from obscure/expensive...

    To the right of the speaker, inside the passenger door of my 2003 Element was a circuit board about 2"x1" with a large yellow capacitor, coiled wire transformer?, and a white resistor. 2 black and 2 grey wires were soldered to one end and 1 black and 1 grey wires were on the other end. This...

    For the second time, the AUX SOCKET power plug in front console and rear cargo area has failed on my 2005 Honda Element LE. The first time under warranty, the dealer related that the failure was in an electrical panel behind the glove box, but it was so long ago I've forgotten anything more...
