2004 Honda Accord EX w/ nav audio problem - no audio
I have an Accord ex w/nav 4cly and the audio has failed. I think it's in the head unit; just wondering if anyone knows of a cronic problem with these nav head units and the preamp section, or knows of the repair proceedure. The audio does not work for any source: nav, cd, radio, nothing. Yet, all sources seem to work correctly; I have NO DISPLAY PROBLEMS, and cd changer works, radio is working, tuning, etc. But no audio. Except, when I push on the stereo power button, I hear a small pop that tells me the power amp is coming on and working correctly. That means preamp is out I guess... and I have tried the fader; it's not just one channel out; the whole thing is gone. It's out of warrenty and I have a feeling Honda won't cover it; so I'm trying to route around them if possible; they might agree to fix but the diagnosis costs more than the mods to fix up an MP3 player, etc.. just seems like such a ripoff, to tell me, yes your head needs to be replaced, $135 diagnois; want a new radio?, $1000 please. And then if Honda won't cover the work, only the parts, I'm hosed out of the diagnostic fees, cause I won't pay for the replacement myself. Any pointers or related experience, links appreciated. |

2004 Honda Accord EX w/ nav audio problem - no audio
One of the rear spkrs could be shorted go in the trunk and dis connect the
spkrs. If audio comes back plug one spke in at a time to see which makes oudio go out. "Jeff Papineau" > wrote in message ups.com... > > > I have an Accord ex w/nav 4cly and the audio has failed.

This was the solution; of course I took it to the dealer because I had not yet seen your answer yesterday... and they charged me almost $100 to tell me this.. Maybe we can help the next poor sucker that doesn't know the amp is smart, sees a shorted woofer on the read deck and shuts down all audio. Wish I had thought of it myself but I could hear the amp come on. Didn't consider the fact that it was shutting itself down after it came on; never heard any kind of signal. Of course, unplug the offending woofer and the whole system is fine. Now I just need to find all replacement speakers for this thing; the front speakers are pretty bad - noticed now that I'm listening to just the fronts until I replace the backs. Jeff- |
