How do you find out the security code for the radio of my 2005 Honda Ex Special Editon Civic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My car, same make and model as the one in question here, needed a jump; however, the cables got accidentally crossed for a brief second. But, that was long enough to to put radio into shock; thus, putting it into security mode requiring the reset code. No longer having the original books, I searched all over the net for an answer. Here is what I found and how I did it. Final answer first. Look inside the glovebox, there is, as in my case, a little white sticker with 2 sets of numbers, one with 5 numbers, and a longer one (think this is some sort of serial number). Anyway, the short 5-number set, was THE code. If you tried to no avail priot to knowing this, you probably put the radio into an error mode requiring the radio and or the car to be off for at least 30 minutes before it will let you try again. That little label may be somewhere else if not in the glovebox. If you cannot find it, there is another way to retrive it. First you need a serial number or a set of 2 alpha numeric codes. With car and radio off, turn car on, doesnt have to be started, just accesory mode. Then, WHILE HOLDING DOWN the numbers on the radio, 1 and 6, turn the radio on, it will display ONE set, then ANOTHER set of numbers both beginning with a letter. It will repeat them until you turn the radio/car off. Write them down. These 2 'codes' will enable a Honda dealership service center person to retrieve the appropriate code for THAT radion. You will also most likely need the VIN # and possibly name and address of the owner. You may also be able to do this online at THIS Honda website:

How do you replace spark plugs and wires on 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe?

User Avatar

Asked by Tlunsford

whatever you do, REPLACE ONE AT A TIME! The wires are connected to the plugs in a certain order. If you pull all the wires off then you will need to get the wiring order to make sure you get the right plug to the right wire. Gently pull ONE plug wire off, twist it BUT do NOT yank on it. If they have been on there a long time, they tend to bond themselves to the plug. twisting usually can break them loose. There is a spark plug wire removal tool that grips the plug at the base if they won't some off. Once you get the wire off the plug, follow the wire up to the distributor, and remove the wire from the distributor and insert the new wire and loop it where the old one was. You will need a socket and ratchet to remove the spark plugs. Get a deep well socket and they actually make spark plug sockets.......I am not sure what size you need. Place the socket over the plug and ratchet it to the left to loosen. Be sure to have the socket securly on the plug, pr you could break the plug off. Once you loosen the plug simply unscrew it from the plug hole. Now take a new plug that has been gapped correctly. Check to see what the gap is for your type of plug. The plug must be gapped correctly to get it to fire correctly. You can buy plug gapping tools or feeler gauges. SOme are .35 some are .40 and some are 50. Know yours before you start, some come pregapped from the factory but I always recheck them using a gauge. Place some anti seize on the threads of the plug and START THE PLUG IN THE HOLE BY HAND.............. Do not place the plug in the ratchet and socket and try to fidn the hole. If you cross thread the hole, you will need to have it retapped before you can get the plug back in. Once you have the plug started by hand use the socket to continue to screw the plug into the hole, and then place the ratchett on it and tighten it but NOT TOO TIGHT! I would say snug and then just a bit more. Get some spark plug wire lubricant and smear it on the the inside of the wire boot that goes over th ehead of the plug. You can use dilectric grease as well............ and as you push down on the wire you should feel it sort of click or snap onto the top of the plug. That's one down...........now go to tanother and repeat. Biggest thing to remember is: Remove one wire and plug at a time Do not yank on the plug wires to get them off the plugs Make sure you get the socket on the plug squarely to remove it Maje sure your new plugs are gapped properly Use anti seize on your new plugs on the threads START the new plugs by hand Snug the plugs up do not overtighten Use spark plug wire grease or lubricant or dilectric grease Good luck

How do you remove the centre dash in a 1998 Hyundai Excel to remove the stock stereo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm attempting the same thing in my Mother-In-Law's 1996 Hyundai Accent. I've found that you need to start by removing the ashtray to expose the 2 screws on either side of the ashtray (inside). Remove these screws, then gently pry the center dash away (some of the clips might spring, but you can replace these later.

That's as far as I have gotten so far. There seems to be another fastener someplace in the lower left portion of the center dash that holds it in place. I am working to get this removed, but to no avail.

This Might sound simple but it's a pig..... Good LUCK.

Remove the Ashtray, Remove the 2 screws in the ashtray compartment! Now you need to undo the heater control clips 2 under the drivers side then 1 behind the glovebox.(this took me 2 hours to find!!!!!!!!! Then slide center control unit out. You then have to undo the stereo retaining screws and slide the stero out.... You might have to take the cables off the clock and hazzard lights too. Replace in reverse order and hay presto you are done!!!! Shame I didnt have this info before starting!!!!! Oh well it's done now!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could not see the 2 clips until I removed the cover plate under the steering wheel. Once I could see the heater control cables it was obvious what was being said. I disconnected them and the one behind the glovebox and all proceeded as stated above.

I paid a mechanic to do it for me when buying the head unit, it took him an hour including installing two speakers because he had to remove the entire heating unit... so he says to take the stock CD player out and install the new one.

Asked by Wiki User

I found this on the web at:

http://www.tss-radio.com/images/HO-52-01.pdf You'll find pictures there. STEP 1. Start by removing the cigarette lighter panel. Insert a hook tool behind the top left corner of the panel and gently pull outward to release the retainer clip. Continue working the hook tool around the panel until all six (6) clips are released. Disconnect the wire harness to the lighter and set panel aside. Inside the panel opening, at the top, are two (2) 8mm hex-head screws that hold the bottom of the radio in place. Remove the screws. STEP 2. Remove the trim bezel that surrounds the radio / climate control module. Insert a hook tool behind the lower left corner of the bezel and pull firmly outward to release a retainer clip. NOTE: These clips hold more tightly than usual. Continue working the hook tool around the panel until all nine (9) clips are released. (See photo # 2. Clips are in the circled areas). Do not disconnect any wiring to the radio. Let the panel hangs downward.

What size wiper blades fit on a 2000 Honda Civic SE?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The driver's side wiper is usually 26 inches long but with some wiper brands and styles the particular structure of the wiper blade frame may make it necessary to use a 25 inch or 24 inch blade to maintain complete contact between the wiping element and the glass through the complete stroke of the wiper.

The passenger side wiper is 18 inches long.

Generally, it is a good idea to consult the fitment guide/catalog of the wiper manufacturer before purchasing replacement wipers. There may be a few different part numbers for wipers of the same length but different attachment mechanisms.

If the correct wiper is not available in a pinch it may be possible to use a shorter wiper for temporary use. An undersized wiper will be under higher than intended pressure, however, and will wear faster. An oversize wiper should not be used as it may damage a weather seal or paint.

Hey Donna==You need to pull the trim off of the door and see what has gone wrong with the linkage. Sometimes the trim is very hard to pull off and there are hidden screws.You might see if a manual at Auto Zone has the removal of door trim in it. GoodluckJoe

How do you set the ignition timing on 1995 Honda Civic EX?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably computer controlled and not adjustable

[edit] the ignition advance/retard is computer controlled but setting proper idle ignition timing can be done with a timing light an a 12mm wrench (I prefer a deep 3/8 drive socket).

hooking up your timing light (or someone else's for that matter) I'll assume you can figure out. there is a two-wire harness behind the passenger footwell (mine is actually above that stuffed under the far right side of the dash board).. you'll need to connect those two wires with a piece of wire or paper-clip. then, with the timing light hooked up, start the car and let it warm up to operating temp. once its up to temp set the timing light to 16 degrees (advanced)... there is a little v-shaped piece that sticks off the lower timing belt cover that will line up with the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley (just below the v-shaped notch).. when the timing light strobes the two should be lined up, if they are not then loosen the three 12mm bolts that hold the distributor on (loosen, DO NOT remove them) and slowly rotate the distributor until the mark lines up with the notch. once they are lined up, re-tighten the bolts on the distributor.

Note: I have a 94 civic Si which has the same motor as your 95 EX and my service manual lists idle timing to be set to 16degrees BTDC (before top dead center).. check with your local shop or a Honda service manual to double check your proper timing setting.

Why would a 1983 Honda Civic keep overheating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think that either your radiator is plugged up, not allowing your coolant to use the full volume and/ or surface area of the radiator. Also, your thermostat might be stuck closed not letting your coolant to circulate through the block. And last thing, make sure that your electric cooling fan comes on when the car gets above 180 degrees. My answer is to replace your thermostat, flush and clean your cooling system (by a professional radiator shop)with a strong cleaner, and make sure there are no leaks in your cooling system, your car has a closed system, a leak will make it over heat too.

or do it the old fashion like i did if the radio diagram says the blue wires on the radio are for the left front grab the wires from the harness coming from the car and grab the two from the harness and connect them together and if the back right speaker comes on , disconnect them and grab the wires from the radio that says back right and connect those two. repeat this until the others three are sounding in the right order until done

How to remove a door panel on a 1995 Honda civic dx?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

how to remove your door panel. I'm assuming you have no power windows on your dx. behind your window handle is a c-clip that is stopping you from pulling this panel off. even if you have already taken out a few screws and tried to pull the panel off...you must take this clip off, here is how. there is a special tool for this, or you can simply push back the door panel so that you can see the clip. once you see the open end of the c-clip take a t-shirt or towel and simply work it into the open end of the clip until the clip pops off.

I just used a flat head screwdriver to push one side on the clip down as far as possible and then pushed on the other side of it and it usually pops off mine luckily was still attached to the handle so i didn't have to go to a junk yard to get a new one

How much horsepower can you get from intake header exhaust?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I believe you meant to ask about an EXHAUST header. Most headers advertise a 10-25% hp increase. I believe that a more reasonable figure is 5-8% depending on the quality of the headers. "Tuned" headers tend to yield slightly higher gains because each runner is supposedly the exact same length so there is less backpressure. Some back pressure is okay, so don't try to eliminate it all.

Personally I have fabricated my own exhaust headers for quite sometime now, I don't use same length runners, instead I change the rocker arm ratios to adjust for the shorter/longer length the exhaust must travel.

For a 96 Saturn sl1 how can you check to see if the electric fan is working properly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Open the hood. Start the car. Let it run at idle for awhile. Eventually your temp gauge inside will get up around to the halfway mark. Around the point you should hear it click on. You really can't not hear the change. Than your coolant gauge should go down to the 1/4 mark. If it continue to heat up, your fan might be working but your thermostat might need replacing.

How do you close the sunroof on a 2001 civic ex if the button won't work?

Asked by Wiki User

If it is anything like a 99 civic, this is how it would be done:

There is usually a cap that is located on the roof of the interior that can be removed.

Under the cap is a slot to manually crank the sun roof closed.

The tool you need came with the 99 civic along with the tire iron and is thin and S shaped I believe.

You should be able to close it if the method is the same. If you dont have the tool, you may be able to use something else If it is anything like a 99 civic, this is how it would be done:
