Thanks for making this tutorial, my radio turns on but has no back light or sound. From what I've seen on youtube and elsewhere, these servos/diodes were bad from the factory. Im pretty sure the lights that light the climate control unit buttons also run through this. I ordered a circuit writer marker from amazon and im waiting for it to arrive. Dont ask me why I didn't just go buy one at the store but either way, thank you. Oh, one question, did you just add a bunch of the "ink" at the solder points and across the servo? Couldn't see that well in the video itself?
The stereo your showing is on a 03 I have a 04 and it's different inside. I have no power , fuse is good. Battery drain as well, at one time I had to bang on the side of panel to get it to work.
Hello Thanks a lot for the very good video. I have an 2003 Accord that has volume problems. The volume is all the way up to 40 but I do not hear anything. What is your suggestion?
I have an 05 accord. First the radio started scanning thru from am to fm to cm and thru them all about 3 times till it fi ally stopped on 1 then I could put it where i wanted. Then one day it randomly just stopped... No display or volume but the backlight is on. The AC still works just cant see the setting... Now (3 weeks later) I can hear it land on my 1st preset on FM but u can just vaguely hear it... No buttons work on the radio or the steering wheel? Any ideas?
Wow. Now THAT was a tutorial! Lol thanks a lot for all the info! I’m just curious to know how you figured/learned that it was that little tiny piece on the motherboard when there is so much it could be!
Thanks for making this in-depth video! i'm in the middle of trying to fix something like this and have tried this fix before on my radio, but used solder instead of nickel like you're using. unfortunately, i couldn't get it to power back on. i'm afraid it possibly advanced into a worse problem possibly. I'm trying to save my specific unit since it's hard finding untouched EX-L radios for the V6-6spd in yards :/
Carl Weezer These radios are known for many problems. Unfortunately they can be pretty difficult to repair. The part repaired in this video is presumably a resistor or fuse, not a heat sink like he said. That component is the most likely to fail when it comes to backlighting. Check nearby capacitors, and make sure the wiring is okay. The light signal on wire can be susceptible to damage.
Listen sir I have 2004 accord and the volume on my radio keeps going down I even replaced the board and it still do ing it can you throw some help my way.Thank you in advance
I have a 2007 Honda accord I went through everything took everything apart and check out the motherboard everything seem to be in order but I still can’t get the fuse to stop blowing. Is there anyone that could help? I’m desperate here
@@kiltropablinho79 I fixed mine by changing the fuse. It was on the wrong place. Check on the fuse box cover to see the exact location on all of the fuses and check if they are ok. Hope that helps you.
@@kiltropablinho79 that doesn't have to do anything with the radio. The fuse box is in your feet, if you are with left-sided driver car(your wheel is on the left side) is on left of your feet. It's near the hood opening handle, it's a lottle black panel, with little hole as a handle. You just pull it towards you and it will come off. Then on the back of the panel you will see a diagram which shows all of the fuses with what they do and how big they have to be. Check every single one of them to see if they are at the right place and you can take them out one by one to check if it's burned. If it's ok put it back in where it says. www.google.com/amp/s/fuse-box.info/honda/honda-accord-2003-2007-fuses ps. Try fuse nuber 30 and number 5, I'm pretty positive that mine was number 30. First check number 30 and if it is not ok change it and try the radio again.
The actual fix for the dead display was the most important part of the video, but obviously his camera resolution was not up to the task. A shame. Most folks just buy a new radio since, I would guess the cost to have it repaired would be the same, or more.
jmacie It wasn’t a heat sink at all actually. It’s a little component, possibly a resistor or fuse, but I believe it to be a transistor. This is a very common issue and he was able to fix it and make a video.
@@joeythefoxxo that explains absolutely nothing, she asked the man how he knew which part it was that was failing! Your captain obvious response was ridiculous and achieved nothing, be better.
@@donniev8181 You’re clearly not very bright. The person that I responded to didn’t even mention the right part. What makes you think me getting technical about it is gonna help them? There’s no need for me to explain what and transistor does and why it failed when all the guy did was Google his radio symptom and see a million others had a similar issue. But you if you reeeeeally want to answer the question then stop arguing with me and answer it yourself. You’re also achieving nothing and can do better. Edit: The uploader also just liked her comment without replying. Don’t you think he should do better too? 🤔
My Ac stop working and the fans won’t start until I have to hit the top of my dash near center and then everything kicks on i wonder if they’re can be a lose wire to the AC knob which causes it not to work… have anyone ever can this issues by chance. Please let me know. Thank you guys for the help 🙏🏻
Does anyone know wht my speakers would be hissing whilst engine is off..? Speakers are on with a very low vol hissing sound; even when car's alarm's activated..
I followed the steps to fix the problem. However after I started the engine, the light only on for two seconds then off again. Do you know what is the reason ? Will that possible the conductive ink are not completely dry. Please advice?
Mochi 360 & Adrenaline Motorsports Racing , This may be an issue with the bridging that you made. It either wasn’t making a good connection, or the high current (high enough to break a connection) broke the connection. It is very possible that your fix just acted like a fuse and blew immediately.
Hey are you love watching your video but my car I have a 2004 Honda accord and don’t look the same can you help me I took everything out looking the bord I don’t know where to Sadir it
Do you know what that little green connection sensor thing does ? I'm not sure what it does but I do know with some models I think the euro r model has automatic window wipers is it for that cause if it is mine dont work lol
🙄 I'm a woman and this wold be too much for me.. the old cars was easier ,we just needed to change fusil under the dashboard. Now is all this work.. I give up..😭😭😭😭😭 but anyway it was nice .maybe I will try it late.
My car was stolen and when it was found the thief had stabbed and cut it in several places. Carved up the steering wheel, stabbed roof, cut ceiling fabric, stabbed the driver's side door several times and now the radio only comes on every now and then. AC controls and display work but sound doesn't come from the speakers. There's also a lag between turning up the volume and it showing on the display (the little bars in the circle). Only thing I can think of is the guy must have shoved the knife in the CD player too but I don't know.
My center console illumination stays on after this repair. Even when key is out and doors are locked. And yes my headlights are off. Happen to anyone else??
Eric Gray The light on signal cable that connects from the radio to the AC controls may be broken, or a connector is not seated properly. Make sure all wires are intact and making a good connection.
U don't have to go to honda , u just put on google code for honda and they just ask u the vin number ,ur phone ,zip code and just the code that u pres the 1 and 6 and the power bottom at the same time and it will show u serial nomber am boom
Except this costs a couple hundred dollars less and the android upgrade does not have all the same functions on the climate control side. Those look great but go down into the reviews and read the one star reviews. The "upgrades" have screwed up a lot of people's AC units and the last I checked, AC/heat is much more important than the radio.
@@CHASINGPROFITS you're damn right, you just earned yourself a subscriber, but seriously tho great video and very informative, you can look up that radio code online with that 8 digit code the vin, I think that's what was the required info.. To this day I remember my radio code, 45633 can't mess that one up lol

Jiggle all the main plugs if you have problem with the accord stereo. Fixed 2 problems on my daughter's Accord by doing this.
What main plug
Famous last words: "I'm not damaging anything"
Lmao I went boom there goes the airbag as soon he said
Great video really informative. I have an 03 accord and the cd player wont load in or eject. Any help greatly appreciated.

Next time please use the shift release next to the shifter instead of us having to listen to that. Ty
My 07 Accord radio doesn't do anything no lights doesn't come on but the all Heat/AC controls work fine
Sounds like the circuit has been interrupted
@@CHASINGPROFITS You think I need a complete new radio?
@@frankm8533 I would get a new one if it still does it then you can cancel the radio out and looked for a clipped ground or positive wire

If I just replaced that silly radio would I still need a code?
Can't see the most important part of the video. Putting the conductive paint on the piece was very blurry.
You just go from one side of the transistor to the other. The circuit would normally go through the transistor but since it's faulty, just go over it.
Does anybody know how to fix an issue with the CD/AUX button not working, and not taking CDs???
