In order to repair problem with the ELD components, you must replace the entire main fuse box assembly which is expensive. Would be much easier to repair and way more economical if the ELD was built and installed as a separate component.

It is a pain, but due to the cost of the part, I can deal with it.

problem #3

  • 40,000 miles

We have taken our car in at least three times to see if they can figure out why my lights go dim after dark. They are so bad that we try not to drive after dark. They put it on the tester and say they can not figure out why it does that. They have never been able to figure it out and again they don't really care. I would not buy another Honda for anything.

problem #2

Feb 012004

Accord LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,321 miles

I own a 2003 Accord, 2.4L

Headlights as well as interior ligts dim when gas pedal is released. Happens only at speeds between 40 and 80 kmh. This was reported to Honda dealer while under warranty, of course the dealer washed their hands and said that the problem could not be found....so I am driving in this condition ever since.

Accord LX 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission

headlights dim while driving sometimes. Dealer could not find the problem until a service tech noted a service bulletin on it. It was a voltage regulator. They replaced it, no problems since.
