Hello,
this is the second time this has happened. A year ago after the dealer replaced my start button the temp knob would not turn all the way to warm and made it so the aircon would not get max cold. They fixed it but it just happened again. Any links to others with the problem and how to fix would be appreciated.
thanks

 

See the video in this thread:

what is shown in the video does not adjust the cable. it has a slot and it can only be installed one way. I can't figure it out

 

Ok. I don’t have a video, but if you follow the cable shown in the video that is posted by I think baseguitarist linked in an above post (thank you so much for that) down to where it is attached. Below this, I will call it an arm, there is a philips screw. I loosened this and adjusted it so that the knob would hit both hot and cold sides then tightened it and it seems to be working now. Of course this was after removing all trim and the stereo thinking the problem was at the actual knob. Just glad I don’t have to go to the dealer for it. Thanks for the link. It was the catalyst that made it happen.
Thanks

 

Giving this post a bump as it happened again and not sure why and was harder to get it to hold.

 

Something internal on the temperature control knob is failing - mine has done the same .

Unfortunately Honda is refusing to accept responsibility for their bad design and your only fix is to purchase an overpriced replacement part that may fail again.

​​​​​​​ Any dealer claiming to fix it is lying and has only managed to jiggle things to let it align again for a short while. It will fail again until replaced.

 

The knob part or the gear part that the cable moves? Which overpriced part are you referring to?
thanks

 

Sorry, that would help wouldn't it. It's the knob part - Honda heater control 79560-T5R-A01ZA. It's available through Honda dealers but I found it to be more expensive than looking elsewhere.

Thanks Tom,
So mine has gotten off the gear thing under the dash where the cable attaches. Are you saying this keeps happening because of this part or is this a different problem?
