Never had any issue of any sort before now
Dealer changed clutch a few months back and disconnected the battery while doing so, everything ok apart from I noticed when pressing the front screen demist didn't put full fan on I had to use up button to do this.
I mentioned this had happened when it went it Thursday gone for a clutch cylinder and they said they'll sort it out
When picked the car up it now worked cool.
Now this next bit maybe completely unrelated?
Not used the car until today, went to open boot, nothing. Had a look on here and it mentioned about a micro switch in glove box?
Ok I thought I'll have a look, couldn't see anything. I'd changed the pollen filter myself a week ago, took it out and reinstalled.
Went to open boot and it worked? Coincidence??
Left car for an hour, went to go in boot again, nothing? Opened glove box, tapped about in it and pressed boot button and again it now works???
However now I press the wing mirror button to fold out mirrors and only the drivers side pops out?? Also the passenger window won't go down??
So boot is hit and miss and passenger wing mirror and window don't work
What on earth is going on
Has anyone had this before
Is there a hidden switch I have knocked?
All seems very odd and a tad frustrating
And pointers in right direction would be greatly appreciated
 
Lee Iv heard that the passenger window switch sends commands to the boot opening and also a few other electrical items.
Have anything been spilt on the switch.
This would be my 1st place to look and clean the switch or replace.
 
I'll pop it out and test it now, cheers Brett
Do you know the location of this mystery micro switch in the glove box?
 
Mine is top right as you look into the glove box but might be different on your tourer Lee.
With the switch you might have to take the door Panel off not 100%
 
Dropped car off at dealer 100yrds from my office for them to sort it as the car is under warranty
I never use this dealer now due to having bad experiences in the past but I'll give them another chance as my normal dealer is 3 hr round trip
Fingers crossed
 
Darn boot, window and mirror working fine now the daft car is in the dealer lol
They haven't done anything to test it apart from push normal operating switches
They're going to keep it all of today now
If they don't find the problem it'll probably now cost me hours of diagnostic fees lol
Hey ho
 
No charge when picked car up yesterday
Boot opened all night
When to car this morning didn't open again lol
Phoned dealer said I'll be straight over and won't turn engine off to see if fault stayed
Got to dealer opened lol
We waited for 5 minutes and fault came back
Boot didn't open, wing mirror didn't work, passenger window didn't work, also indicators on both wing mirrors didn't work? Hadn't noticed that
Anyway dealer sent email to Honda and they agreed on my say so as Honda had come across this before to change the window button on passenger side at cost to Honda
Dropping car off Friday morning
Hopefully a result and problems sorted
 
Good lick Lee and I'm sure I was correct in being the passenger door switch.
