Electrical system: instrument cluster/panelReported January 4, 2010 · 76,000 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Honda is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 ridgeline vehicles manufactured between january 17, 2005, and june 7, 2006. A wiring harness connector for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) blower motor located under the passenger's side of the instrument panel may be accessible to kicking by the front seat passenger's feet. If this occurs, the connector terminal may overheat, and this may cause the wire insulation to melt or the wiring connector to melt.
Risk
Should the wiring insulation melt and the exposed wires make contact with each other (short circuit), a fire may occur.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and if the wiring connector is damaged it will be replaced and all vehicles will have the protective cover installed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 15, 2010. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

I am a disabled veteran and I need some help. My A/C fan stopped working! It is 120*f inside my vehicle!!! The thermostat has been a bit touchy for a few months, but it never ceased to function. Now it has and its blazing hot!!! My daughter started the car and the A/C failed to turn on. No A/C and it is 90*f in the shade. I took my vehicle in for a recall a few years ago that referenced the fan motor harness and moisture of some sort. This is a terrrible development!

The issue seems to occur randomly. When it occurs the check engine light, vtm4 light, vsa light and a few other warning lights light up on the instrument panel. When this occurs the truck will slow down gradually with no response from the accelerate pedal. I have to pull to the side of the road turn off the truck or let vehicle cost and it will eventually kick in. I have safety concerns with this happening at unkowing times which can either possibly cause me to wreck or someone to hit me from behind because the vehicle jist wont move I jave to coast it to the side of the road.

This issues has occurred 4 times in the past 3 months. Twice at highway speeds and twice at speeds below 10 MPH. The issue seems to occur randomly. When it occurs the check engine light, vtm4 light, vsa light and a few other warning lights light up on the instrument panel. When this occurs the truck will slow down gradually with no response from the accelerate pedal. I have to pull to the side of the road turn off the truck and turn back on. The truck operates normally after it is turned backed on (check engine light stays on for about 100 more miles then turn off). I have safety concerns with this happening again on a busy highway.

Filed Nov 27, 2012 · Electrical, Lights · 63,000 miles · CA

Started vehicle and noticed that both low beam headlights were not working. All other running lights were working (tail lights, parking lights, fog lights, turn signals, etc). High beam headlights were both working. Had replaced the headlight bulbs about a month ago. Have had no problems prior to the failure. In researching the problem I found a prior recall for the headlight wiring on earlier honda cr-v's, pilots and civics. Am wondering if this is a related problem?
