Okay ... so finally a day with no extra dogs and temps in the low 40's.
I tried to decide what I want to tackle first.
Decided on the not so good LCD Screen for the Navi.
Here is what it looked like when I bought Jessica:
I talked to Honda about replacing it. $1700 for the screen and $300 labor. Okay ... so I'm doing the labor.
Found this on flea bay for $100 and $10 shipping.
Yea ... it's from China so I was hesitant, but for $110, I figured what the heck, give it a try.
I read up in the shop manual and it didn't look like a rough job ... LOL ... Man was I surprised ... Now I know why its $300 labor. The windshield, Dash, Gage panel, gage cluster and a few other things need to come off. I might of got away without the windshield and dash, but, my chubby little hands and my less that perfect eyesight made it hard to figure out how to get the plugs from the gage cluster out.
Here's the gage cluster out laying on the ignition.
Here's the spot the gage cluster goes in, you can see the three plugs you need to remove. If Honda gave you an inch or two more wire, this would be so much easier.
Here's the front with the dash removed and most of the nose off.
Here's a better look at the Gage cluster.
