I was going to drive to work this morning at 6:30am and my headlights would not turn on. My high beams worked fine but my normal lights did not. I had noticed a burning odor a few days prior through my vents. I took the car to my mechanic this morning and the headlight problem was due to an electrical malfunction and the wires had been melted that are associated with the headlights. Thankfully I had not been driving at night time when this problem occurred. I had to get a kit to replace the wiring. This ended up being an expensive repair.

Both lowbeam lights went out simultaneously while driving.

While driving both dim headlights went out. I pulled over and realized the bright head lights did work while the dims no longer worked. After replacing both bulbs and realizing they still did not work. I investigated the issue and after visually inspecting the wiring harness that plugs into the combination switch (blinker/headlight control) there is obvious signs of heat damage and electrical corrosion. The low beam headlights did not work, due to an electrical short in the wiring harness. Updated IVOQ 03/05/12

Both lowbeam headlights both stopped working at the same time. I replaced both bulbs but they still did not work. No fuses had burnt out, so started to research. After checking online, I opened the plastic casing to the steering column, and found that the switch had burned and the plastic melted. This is obviously defective wiring on the part of Honda, otherwise the fuse for the headlights would have burned out before the switch could have. I find this to be a very important safety issue as this is the primary vehicle for my wife and infant son. Updated 12/12/11 updated 12/13/11

Both headlights (low beam) went out simultaneously due to an overheated connection between the headlight switch assembly and wiring harness (plug). Updated 12/12/11 pictures received 04/20/12

The low-beam headlight switch fails repeatedly. When I replaced it, I noticed what appears to be heat damage on the wiring harness connector. I have replaced the combination low-beam/high-beam/turn signal unit three times in the last 7 months. Updated 01/17/12

2004 Honda CR-V. both headlight low beams stopped functioning at the same time. High beams still work on both headlights. Replacing headlight lamps and fuses did not fix the problem (both low beams still not functioning). I will be going to a mechanic this coming week to get repairs. I suspect it is a malfunctioning electrical switch.

Both low beam headlights stopped working simultaneously. The connector to the headlight switch has melted preventing the switch from working. Updated 06/10/11

Both low beam headlights failed simultaneously. Subsequently repaired at a Honda dealer. Repair required a new hi/lo beam switch and connector/wiring harness. I requested old parts and upon inspection, one of the metal connector pins (male and female) was discolored (black) due to heating with some distortion and discoloration of the connector block due to heating. Attached wire also discolored due to heating.

2004 Honda CRV - air conditioning compressor stopped working. Made loud popping noise. When I opened the hood you could smell smoke. I noticed sparks and smoke coming from the ac compressor. I bought this CRV new in 2004 and had not had any problems prior to this. The Honda dealer that I purchased this from says that it will cost $2400 to fix it as it basically needs an entire new ac installed. I searched the web to see if anyone else had this problem, and noticed that it is widespread. Will Honda do a recall for this issue? I'm very concerned, as I also have a 2005 CRV that I purchased new in 2005 for my wife and see that it is very possible that this could happen to that vehicle.

Low beam headlights won't work, even though high beams do.

Problem: Sudden acceleration due to defective throttle body. The idle rpms are excessive upon startup and lead to sudden acceleration during braking to a stop. Background: Malfunction lamp light was constantly turning on and off. Took the car to a Honda dealership and they only found the error code for the O2 sensor. Later took it to a local mechanic to fix the O2 sensor and they found a defective throttle body (error code P0122). There are several forums which address this exact issue on 2002-2004 Honda CRV.

Was driving down the highway about two months ago, I was shocked or bolted and something went through my body. It was like an electrical shock. Also, my door locks keep opening and closing while I am driving. Its happened a couple times and it has scared me. I don't know if that would have anything to with the shock I received in the vehicle, and something keeps going off in my car, it sounds like a timer. I took it to Honda, they know nothing about the sound I hear and since its not a manufacture warranty, I did send in the warranty to the radio and I thought the radio and the locks are connected on my vehicle for security purposes. Been having medical problems, don't know if the shock could of contributed to it. I think I keep getting shocked every time I drive it. The number of failures would be a number I wouldn't know since it happens everyday.
