    Cheapest way to replace lost key fob?

    I know this is an old thread, but for anyone interested in the topic in the future. I bought a blank key from a dealership in michigan for just over $200. I had my local honda dealership cut the key for me (they actually cut 2 blanks and I keep one under the vehicle in case I lose the fob and...

    AC went out!

    Thanks for the response. So, I got a quote from the mechanic. They want to replace the a/c compressor, condenser, receiver dryer, expansion valve, rear expansion valve and flush the system. He says the compressor is in fact seized up. Total cost for parts and labor is $3500. Parts total is...

    AC went out!

    My AC just went out about a week ago. Started with a ticking noise, and then a clunk the next day, and then no A/C. I suspect the compressor is out (140k miles on an 05 LR3). The shop agreed it was the compressor but also says that because it is a clutchless system, that there is a...

    Time to get a new key - WA/OR area

    Yeah, I paid $213 for my key, that was cut from LR. It sure is nice to be able to save $120 on the programming fee. ;)

    Time to get a new key - WA/OR area

    Just a quick update on my Key FOB issue. More recently my only FOB was losing its battery contact. So, I initially purchased an extra uncut key from an ebay seller who sells remotes for less $ ;)... I have been working with GAP Diagnostics and their IIDTool. We were unable to get the keys to...

    Fault on LR3 2005 - Diagnostic "Reduced Engine Performance

    Depending on where you live, purchasing a code reader may be a good idea. I'm 200 miles from the nearest dealership so I picked up a IIDTool. So far it's working great for reading and clearing the codes so I can at least diagnose the problem.

    Time to get a new key - WA/OR area

    Yeah, I was watching one at $99 that the seller says has not been programmed. I just saw another one pop up at $89 +$4 shipping but I need to email him to see if it has not been programmed. If the blade doesn't come out easily, I wonder if the local dealership can still cut with it attached to...

    Time to get a new key - WA/OR area

    Right now I don't have an extra FOB. I need to pick up one off of ebay and find someone local to program it. As of now, it'll be my backup to access the vehicle in case my only FOB gets lost or craps out. I figure if I have key access to the vehicle I can at least tow it myself rather than...

    Time to get a new key - WA/OR area

    Success! Ok, I ordered a $12 key blade off of ebay from the UK. Took it to the local locksmith but his sidewinder wasn't able to cut the key because it was too narrow (he had an older machine). I then spoke to a friend who works with the local Honda dealership. They just purchased a...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Oh, and before heading to the dealership, I had the battery checked (only 2 years old), brake lights checked and changed the brake switch...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    I had the Transmission Fault come up on the dash with the parking brake light, stability control light, HDC not available etc... I took it to the dealership and their T4 yielded the error codes P186D-00 in RDCM and U1A4A-68 in VDM. They said I needed the rear differential clutch actuator...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Got it! Works fine now. I loosened the bolts and then tightened them by hand only, then turned the ignition to on and off a few times. The first time, it reproduced the buzz sound again and stuttered, then it didn't do it anymore. I crawled underneath and re-checked the bolts and they were...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Thanks, I'll get back under there and check the bolt torque to make sure they're not too tight. The only thing I can think is maybe the tolerance is really narrow and I inadvertently tightened it down too much. Will check it tonight or tomorrow.... Otherwise, I'm thinking it may be a bad part...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Ok, I don't remember what the vehicle sounded like before putting the new Diff Actuator in, but when I turn the ignition to on or off I hear a buzzing sound coming from the rear axle area. Is this normal operation of the actuator? Or is this not normal, ie I should not hear any buzzing from...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    I can take it to my local mechanic who should be able to clear the codes, but if there is still a problem, he probably won't be able to help or I would/should pay him for additional time. I have been looking into getting my own diagnostic equipment (the last trip to the dealership cost me...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Sorry about that. I just looked at my thread title and you're right. :( My bad. What I replaced was the rear differential actuator that sits on top of the diff. That's what the dealership recommended and I had confirmed the part number with them (LR011036). I don't think I knew that there...

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Tried the battery disconnect for 8-9 minutes and connecting the leads together with a socket wrench. Still showing a Transmission Fault. Will a standard ODBII reader at Autozone be able to read/clear codes? This is getting really frustrating.... I'll be torqued if it wasn't in fact the...

    Is the Faultmate coded for one vehicle or can you use it on another? Do you still have it?

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Everything is installed and running, however the Transmission Fault is still showing up. My guess is that the error codes need to be cleared for it to stop showing up?

    Replacing the Rear Differential Control Module

    Ok, FINALLY got the old actuator out. Couldn't figure out how to get it out with the exhaust pipes in the way. I finally disconnected the rear hangers so I could get some more movement in the pipes. With a foot near the end of the tail pipe pushing, I was able to get the old one out. Cleaned...
