| The air conditioning (a/c) control relay on my 2009 honda odyssey failed less than 3 years after purchase, causing intermittent electrical problems that would prevent the car from starting. when the car's ignition switch is placed in the accessory i position, only the audio system and accessory power sockets should be engaged and able to operate. my a/c control relay failed in the closed position, causing the a/c compressor in my car to run continuously, even when the ignition switch was in the accessory i position. the end result was whenever i left the ignition switch in the accessory position for more then a couple minutes, the running a/c compressor would very quickly drain the battery, leaving the car unable to start. placing the ignition switch in the accessory position for a matter of minutes should not result in a person being stranded !!! the part number for the a/c compressor relay on my 2009 odyssey is omron g8hl-h71. honda's corresponding part number is for this relay is 39794-sda-a03. *tr | |||

| My wife tried to open the (powered) liftgate via the handle. the liftgate would not open this way. when she tried the remote, it opened it apx 90 percent of the way. when it reached the apx 90 percent mark, it seemed that the motor opening it jammed and the gate came down quite quickly, falling unexpectedly on my wife's back. i researched this problem and saw that there is an open investigation on this same matter (nhtsa campaign id number: pe11034). | |||
