Honda Pilot 2004 Car battery died because we left the lights on. Jumped battery. Works great but NOW the fuel gauge and hot/cold gauge is not registering. The fuel gauge needle just stays past Empty and doesn't move when adding gas, etc. Just isn't working anymore. HELP!? Is there a fuse? a sensor?

Check fuse No. 9 (10A) in the driver's side kick panel fuse box. But if your other gauges are working (speedometer, tachometer, low oil light, etc.) then it is possible that when you jumped the battery you inadvertently reversed the cables and created a reverse voltage. This will impact some of the vehicle electronics. If you feel this might be the case, you should test the cooling system temperature sender to see if it failed. If it did, you should suspect that the fuel gauge drive circuit located in the instrument cluster is also failed.

2004 Honda Pilot, right rear brake light doesn`t work. I know it`s not the light bulb because it works for the turn signal and hazard lights.

Chances are that is the bulb. Its a dual filament bulb. The brake portion of it is burnt out. try swapping it with the left side and see if it works then. If it works, get a new bulb.

I have 2004 honda pilot, I kept my light on and battery died, I did jump start the car but I cannot turn on cd player or change the time it displays the CODE, I have code but I don't know how to enter it,...

All you need to do is enter the code using the radio preset buttons(1-6). If it beeps in the middle of entering the numbers, STOP and start from the beginning again.

What is the life expectancy for the battery of a 2006 honda Pilot?

Battery life can be affected my several things, but extreme temps (Hot or Cold) can greatly affect a batterys life. If a person gets 3 yrs on a battery they are doing well if operating conditions are normal.

1999 chevy malibu, stalls, no restart after getting to running temperture. fuel ok, cranks but misfires when hot. cools down and starts. runs good cold. crank sensors ok

Sounds to be a bad ignition module or one of the coil packs. Will need a scan tool to know what cylinder (s) are misfiring in order to narrow it down.
