Wiring problems of the 2003 Honda CR-V

Driving kids to school in early morning both headlights simultaneously burned out at same time leaving only parking lights for illumination. Drove in dark back home. Later discovered high beams to be functional. Was searching online for fix and ran across many people who had same problem and complained of burnt wiring. I removed steering column cover and found no burnt wires at any connection. Checked bulbs and indeed they were both burned out. Seems odd both lights burned out at exactly the same time??.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Cr-v. The contact was driving 55 mph when the low beam headlights failed without any warning. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the wiring harness had burned. As a result, the wiring harness would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 120,000. The consumer stated the headlights went out while driving. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop where they discovered a wire had overheated and melted the harness inside the steering wheel.

Headlight switch and wiring harness damaged by overheating/melting on 2003 Honda crv,.

Both low beam headlamps go out. Hi-beam lamps still work. The problem is the contacts on the dimmer switch corrode; there have also been reports of scorched connectors - meaning the possibility of fire. To access the switch you have to remove the steering column cover and then locate the dimmer/turn signal wiring harness. Most consumers would not know how nor be able to do this. This is extremely dangerous. It has been reported many times on internet blogs.

Bought new Honda crv in may of 2004. On September 26, 2004 while driving the vehicle, it burst into flames. It only had 6,500 miles on it. Vehicle was damaged beyond repair. Honda will not claim responsibility and said that it was not a warranty issue, although they have never even seen the vehicle.

I just recieved my first oil change at shockley Honda in frederick maryland on my Honda crv. After driving for about 2 miles my car started to smoke out the back. When I stopped the vehicle, flames shout the hood of my vehicle. The engine compartment was on fire. I called the fire department. The dealer did replace some of the burnt parts in the engine compartment but did not replace the wiring harness. Had to buy a new crv because of this damage. I had substantial expenses not remimbursed by Honda.
