Reddogs gave a little more information on the fuse problem in another topic. I'm going to copy his post over here to help with suggestions: #215 of 215: auburn63 (reddogs) Fri 24 Mar '00 (01:51 AM) Heres one that I just had, it was on a 98 Passport (I made a topic, 1145 Honda Passport Maintenance so U can post the answer there). It blew the AC fuse one morning at 10k and I took it in, I ask them to check and find out why it blew, they said a bare connector/moisture(??) must have blew the fuse. A few months later at 17k it did the same thing, went to start, no AC, I told the service rep he had to find the problem this time and he replaced the alternator, connections, but couldnt give me a good reason. A few mornings later the battery died. Now I've had batteries on Honda Accords go low/die and I know it causes other problems when this happens, could this have been the cause of the AC fuse blowing?? Reddogs - I had this problem 6 or 7 years ago with an 89 Accord. I don't remember the exact diagnosis. It had something to do with something within the a/c unit dripping on something else. What I DO remember is that it cost me 500 bucks! It happened immediately after I had had bodywork done on the front left fender after the car was hit while parked. The a/c unit was right inside where the damage was, so I felt like it was related to the accident. FWIW, I had that car ten years and replaced the battery twice, each time because it had died on me. No other problems resulted from the battery issues. Pat Community Leader/Maintenance & Repair Conference |

I had one drive me crazy but ended up finding a short under the drivers side of the radiator. There is a main harness that runs under there and the radiator has to come out in order to inspect it. There was another one that we didn't find the short and we ended up dividing the circuit up and installing seperate fuses in the problem lines. So for now if it is fixed just see if it remains fixed. Shorts are very difficult to find when they take days/months to show up then go away.Hard shorts are a piece of cake but these types are not.As far as could the battery have caused this,well anything is possible but I dont think so.Hope I have helped. |

In order to keep similar discussions in one place, I am copying and reposting the following from another topic: #0 of 0: (kimugene) Mon 10 Apr '00 (09:48 PM) I have a '98 Honda Passport. This truck has been intermittantly stalling when idle. The tachometer goes wildly up and down and finally the engine dies. This does not happen all the time so when I take the truck to the dealer, they say they can not reproduce the problem. This stalling problem had happen at least 10 times and I took the truck in at least five times for this problem. There is also an issue with the brake noise and engine oil burning quicker than normal. Does anybody have a similar problem with this model? Anyone have any suggestions for kimugene?

| Nothing really comes to mind other than if the tach is jumping around and the idle isnt then it would be an electrical problem. However if the engine is following the tach(meaning jumping up and down also)then there are multiple problems that it could be including bad gas. I will check over some bulletins and service news write ups and see if I see anything.Check back wed. or thursday night.. | |
| I have a 98 passport with about 37,000 miles. Although I have had numerous problems, the one that concerns me the most, happens when I turn the wheel—a loud rolling, clunking sound occurs in the area of the front wheel (either side). It doesn't happen all the time. You can also feel it under your feet. My dealership has tried various things, the owner of the dealership drove the car and they had my car for a about a week. The Honda service rep looked at it, they tried some things in the steering column, to no avail. The Honda rep's response when the noise reappeared was, "Well, some noise is going to occur." I wrote Honda a letter, after that it appeared what they had done in the steering column helped, but the noise returned. The dealer has said they will honor my warranty for this even though I have passed my 36,000 mile mark. Nobody knows what to do to solve this problem. It doesn's seem to affect anything while driving; it will be kind of tough for resale, though. The noise started appearing probably a year ago. HELLLLP! | |

Kimugene, thanks for your response. I did just go through the intake manifold problem and got that replaced. My vehicle was in the shop for a couple of weeks because of a national back order of parts. The noise I referred to occurs while driving and going through a steady turn, doesn't matter if I'm going fast or slow. It doesn't have to be a sharp, full turn, just going around a normal corner, or turning into a driveway. |

I just bought a 1999 passport few months ago and am experiencing a strange noise. The noise happens when I am on the highway going 50 mph or faster. It sounds like a groaning sound coming from the left front end. I am pretty sure it is a cross wind hitting something, but am not sure what. It is loud enough to drown out the CD player, and increases or decrease depending on wind condidtions and direction of wind. Checking to see if any of you are experiencing anything like this. If so email me at mrobe30658 aol.comThanks........ |

| I do have the same problem with my 98 passport, it happened couple of times in winter. When I stopped before traffic lights, I have to press the brake hard, otherwise, the stalling can make the car ahead of line. Also the power brake seems not working properly. One method to test your power brake is: press the brake first, then start the engine, you can feel your feet lower a little bit. I have no this kind of feeling on my brake. | |
| I have a 1996 1/2 Passport and the Check Engine light just came on as I passed 58,000 miles. The vehicle appears to be running fine, oil is fresh, etc., so I'm wondering if this warning light comes on periodically as a maintenance reminder or could there be an engine problem brewing? Any help is appreciated. | |
| I have a 1998 Passport. In Feb. my check engine light came on and the engine started missing once in awhile. When I took it in, there was a service bulletin out for 1998 models regarding the intake manifold. Mine had a crack in it, was in the shop for a couple of weeks waiting for parts on national backorder. Maybe your model year has the same problem. Check it out! | |
