Honda foreman 400 won't start?


Honda foreman 400 won't start?
Added (1). I have a 2000 model Honda Foreman 400 (trx400fw) that has blown the main fuse and is going straight to ground from the main fuse (realized that by doing a continuity test) additionally, the fan comes on and stays on when the switch is turned to the "on" position and the starter is not getting power when the "start" button is pressed while in neutral and holding the left brake lever. (the starter itself works) any suggestions on what to check next?

Is it a bad idea for me to refinance my original Honda auto loan?


My credit has improved over the last 6 months and I would like to refinance in another 6 months or so once I feel more comfortable with my score. BUT is this a bad idea? Will Honda scold me for this when I go to the Service dept for maintenance? Or will other future lenders see me as some sort of unreliable consumer moving forward? I worry about this. Any advice would be great and much appreciated!

Engine Overheating Problems?


I have a '96 4th gen Honda prelude and I can't figure out why it's overheating. I've gone through everything I can think of but the car is still having problems. The water pump is good, replaced the radiator+hoses+thermostat and bled the air out of the system so that's all good. I did a block test to check for bad head gasket and the head gasket is fine so there's no oil mixing in the system. The problem started after I replaced the oil cooler o-ring. I don't really know how the oil cooler works but there's oil and coolant lines that run into the cooler and I replaced the hose for the coolant line because it was splitting. I didn't use the OEM hose so I had to bend the new one in an awkward angle to force it to fit but it's on there, could that be restricting the flow of coolant? I have no idea what else to check.

Honda Civic 96 overheating issue?


My car has been overheating for a week now, but it only overheats while I am at a stopped sign, and then it goes right back down. Never reaches the red line. When I turn on the heater, the temp gauge also goes back down. I have changed the thermostat, radiator, and water pump, plus timing belt, but it still overheats. Fan that is connected to the radiator (passenger side) is spinning. Now the overheat doesn't happen everytime I stop. Today, it has only happen twice. Gauge goes up just a little, goes right back down when I start to drive. Can it be the head gasket or anything else that I am missing? No visible leaks as well, and I did the pressure test to checks for leaks.

Why do kids in modified Honda Civics try to race EVERYBODY?


I was coming back from the Aston dealership with my new Aston Martin Rapide S and some kid in a lawnmower, I mean Honda Civic tried racing me. I gave in and raced him, kicked the kids ***, but this has happened before, with cars I've had in the past. Is there any reason for this or are they just trying to be little douche bags?

How long does it take to get a car back from the body shop?

Ok so last Thursday I was involved in a car accident, and my headlight is broken (but not beaten up or anything like it has a broken glass), my rearview mirror came off, and I have a dent on the lower side of my passenger side of my car. Ok so sometime this week the adjuster (I hope I spelled that right) is suppose to come down here to the body shop to like inspect it and everything. And I heard that if you only have minor damage and really good insurance that you may get your car back a little sooner. And there are 4 or 5 cars ahead of me and my car is only $500 worth in damage so is this true
1) the less damage the quicker you get your car back
2)how long does it take (my uncle told me less damage means more fast/2-4 weeks)
3)I have state farm insurance so does that mean it'll be faster
4)how long do parts come in
5)I drive a Honda civic coupe 2009 so is it like a foreign car and are those cars easier to fix and order parts
6)what else will they do to my car
Thanks for those that answered sorry it was long I was trying to be a little specific and thanks have an awesome dayðŸ˜Â

Spark plugs covered with oil plus exhaust smoke?


Just got the carbs cleaned and working perfectly on my 82 Honda Nighthawk 450. I started the bike and just a moment later there is a white smoke coming from the engine and exhaust. I took the spark plugs off to aid in addressing the issue and I have found that there is a black oil on them. Anybody have an idea as to what s going on here? Thanks.

How to use my android phone for music in my car?


I have a 2007 honda odyssey. The only input I can find in there is the cigarette light input. Does anyone know how I can connect my phone music to the car stereo? I'm guessing theres some sort of adapter or cord I can buy but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. Thanks.
