(I'll reply to the Digest, since yours was the only message) David, I don't have anything but my own opinion to offer, which you may find of little use in your...
I do not know if it is of help but I remember seing the air bag yellow wires behind the glove box. It was when I replaced the AC air filter. The air bag...
You can beg your dealer to unplug the passenger airbag. some are willing, others aren't. If they will do the favor for you, you will have to sign a waiver...
Oh yea, on the topic of the connector. If my memory serves me right, the connector is desighed to short itself if you disconnect it. That way, it won't set...
Brian, You're right that the connector shorts itself, but you're wrong about the outcome! If the airbag is disconnected (intentionally or not) it will trip an...
Hello fellow Insighters and Honda Hybrid enthusiasts! For those of you looking to join the club, I'm looking for a buyer for my 2001 Honda Insight. It is Monte...

Hello all, So remembering the thread, I emailed David. I did not buy the extended warranty at the time of purchase and by the time I saw his post, I was told...
Hello, I have a couple questions that I bet this group can help me with. I have a 2001 5-speed Insight. Recently I was at the dealer for an oil change and...
If the main battery packs are too weak the little battery under the hood will power the motorcycle starter to to start the engine. Ever hear the noisy...
Without the 12V battery, the car's computers will not 'wake up' and the car will not start. I have a larger, Civic type battery. It is cheaper and has more ...
... Hi Bev - My 12v battery died recently (about a month ago) and just like one of the other posters said, the car's computer wouldn't "wake up" the car to...
Thanks for your responses. I'm glad to know there IS a good reason to make sure the 12v battery doesn't die. I was starting to feel like I'd replaced it too...
Dave, I believe it's a halogen '9003'. I use the Sylvania SilverStar headlights, part # 9003ST. Instructions are in the owners manual - they are very easy to...
Thank for the reply. I also went with the So;verStars. I've had the car for several years but for some reason I thouhgt that the headlight replacement...
... I think I've got the same problem. My dealer also keeps insisting that "everything looks good" when I know it isn't. My SOC drops down to one bar and...
I'm afraid I may be slipping into that, too. Every other day I notice a serious drop in assist but, usually as I'm driving. Not on a left turn. I have to drive...
According to my dealer: $2900 suggested retail for the battery packs. The engine battery is the same as civics from the 70's. Honda has up to this date not...
... Thanks for the info. I'm afraid my car's WAY beyond the warranty. My work is 55 miles away from my house (which explains why I bought the Insight to begin...
$2900 service order not just parts price. Again this was all according to my dealer. The Service guy said it was a biotch to replace the main batteries. ...
Todd - I'm concerned the I may have the same problem you have on my 2001 CVT with 62,000 - what were the symptoms you experienced that lead you to believe the...
Richard, Thank you for the reminder. It has been one week since Honda replaced my transmission (for free -- cost would have been $3,700). I needed to drive...
Funny you mentioned, that it felt like your old Audi that had fuel injector problems, when my problem first started I thought it was the fuel injectors, I...

David, and any others who've had transmissions replaced, Please excuse this thread going on and on with one last weird question, but I want to make sure I am...
no I did not, it is possible that the dealer spilled some fluid when filing the new transmission, or possibly a leak. I would have a mechanic check the...

I sure hope that it can be considerably cheaper than that... My IMA battery is DEAD. The light came on and when it did, it triggered two other lights. There...
