It could be a loose engine belt, you could be low on power steering fluid or your pump could be going bad. If 1 and 2 check out then you probably need a new pump.

Here's the manual. http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/B3V0303OM/enu/MD0303OM.pdf

I am having the same issue in my 2001 MDX. It just appeard one day. Since then it has moved. It started out on the far right and is now in the center. ???

the dash or cluster fuse. the operators guide in the glove box covers this. or just test them.

using the cheap plastic, door panel tool we pry the bottom, edge, pop goes the snap fasteners. work bottom up, and the rest is obvious.. if not say where you get into trouble, to practice, go to a pikandpull wrecker, and try a car there. or read the FSM ,, under body ,it coves this, in vivid details.

bet plastic pray bars, from auto store, pry bottom with 1lb force, POP. the rest should be obvious. more pry, and removing other parts on panel, FSM covers this is spades.

we'd love video of that. home cylinder bore grinding http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NsF2FRc8UIA#t=117

When working on an engine block (cylinder bore out) it is all or nothing. If you do just one you unbalance the engine and it will always be rough

double posted. back up,one post.

fuse check the fuse marked rear wiper. its blown , can be caused by ICING, got that?

did you read the operators guide? in the glove box. the alarm has lots of features, and tricks RTM. check fuses first. try 2nd fob, try new battery in bad FOB get the opr guide, and keep it so you dont get stranded.

google this, there are vast posts for this. w w w. it needs to be reset per the manual, no manual ?

blower fuse. lost the operators guide>? get one.? under hood box fuse 56 its marked, heater motor, 40amps

its all in the glove box, open it and read the operators guide. see fuse section. buy one or get one free on line, google for it. its also in the FSM. book. or at alldata.com The Fans are controlled via Relay, and the PCM on newer cars controls that in complex ways. the front fan is called the A/C condenser fan the rear fan is RAD fans. the FSM coves the tests for each and ALL steps to find what is bad. it only takes the FSM and DMM (voltmeter ) and 15min work to see who an what is bad. (so we look at the relay, fuse good) we check all 4 pins with a voltmeter. bingo we know. ask more questions, can show drawings, after fuse are good.

Is your anti-theft security system original equipment or aftermarket? If aftermarket, take it back to the installer for service. If it is an OEM (factory-installed) security system, check your owner's manuals for instructions on how to reset the system.

the only safe thing to do is either change code or change remote.
