Ha you just posted this...and last night I noticed my rear light kept come on overbumps. Thanks!

I saw the thumbnail and thought, "Big Show is working on cars now?"

THIS GUY IS A LIFESAVER. He saved my Element with its constant P2646 errors. I did everything, including cleaning all the screens and replacing all the VTEC/VTC hardware with OEM equipment. Still no luck. This guy personally messaged me on FB and recommended I try an ATF fluid engine flush and then use heavier 5w-30 oil. It worked. Thank You, Sir. I would've personally messaged you back, but I couldn't find the message thread. Everyone should try this trick if they can't get the p2646 CEL to go away.

Thank you!! With your video, I was able to change my ignition switch.

Trying to solve this problem on daughters 08 Element. I do not find it coincidental that a recent oil change which included Lucas stabilizer now giving me a problem with the same code. Do you see a problem running Lucas (25% of total lubricant volume) in this engine with high mileage 200K? Great vid and fellow NC resident.

long video , but so informative..... what / where is the name of your shop and address... Thanks from HOUSTON

How are you sure it’s not the starter before doing this ??

I’m going to do some preventative maintenance. I need my E every day. Thanks, super informative.

Great one man! I have three elements and will do the water intrusion service before I get any problems, being here in Florida we are prone to electrical issues because of the high humidity and rain. Cheers!

Thank you. I do not have either of the codes but I do have a Honda Element and I live where it rains alot.

Interesting post. Hondas that are sold (American made) in Mexico use 5w-30 in their new turbocharged engines and NOT 0W-20. They have a much warmer climate than Hondas in the US. We’re running the new Valvoline Clean and Protect on several Honda engines to include the K24. We’re asking customers to return after 2000 miles to replace the engine oil filter. We use the Wix XP series since they’ve been excellent filters throughout the years without any issues. Slipped our minds about the filter screens on the spool valves…..interesting point! Thanks for the great information.

Will the two pieces aluminum roof rack be able to carry the weight of two people?

You have any issues with AC not working?

Ok, close to having a bonfire. I’ve replaced all of it on my wife’s 2008 CRV…Honda parts, valve & screen on back of motor along with screen above the tensioner, the valve on the end of the motor, oil change with 5W-30 & trans fluid. Plug scanner in & clear the codes (2647, VSA, Open ground in pass curtain airbag). Before I drive it 50 feet, P2647 popping back up. Suggestions??

Just perfect. Thank you!

I’ve done all three and still had the limp mode until I bypassed the oil pressure switch on the Vtech solenoid assembly.

Great video

Great videos! Proactively sealing my wiper spray on my ‘08 Element LX and need advice for type of Honda Bond to use. Seeing option of Honda Bond 4 and Honda Bond RT. Your advice? Thanks!

WOW no kidding i thought i was seeing things i took the solinoid apart and found a water bed on top i took it all apart brake cleane it but it must have damaged the solinoide its self .. thank you so much,

Looks good! Luke needs to be one of those models on The Price is Right! Does it have a rainfly or is that just built in. What’s the occupant weight limit? How much for that exact model?

Cool video and cool tent! Even cooler kid!!! Luke is a you Tube sensation!! Is she mounted on top of Ellie yet? God Speed on your trip David!

12:20 The red color of trans fluid is just a dye so you know what kind of fluid it is - the red dye color varies based on type of fluid (compare ATF+4 to Valvoline ATF to Ford Mercon LV for example - three different shades of red or cherry). CVT fluid is often green, but sometimes amber. ATF 134 FE is blue. All of those fluids are excellent detergents, but are all different colors. The dye is not the detergent. Otherwise, excellent video and definitely the most thorough, comprehensive, and correct one on the topic on RUclips. These are exactly my troubleshooting steps as well - oil (no, low, wrong, bad, dirty), electrical issues, replace screens & clean spool assembly, then replace assembly as last resort with OE parts. Nearly always you can fix these problems with no actual parts, though, which makes customers very happy (especially when another shop gave up!). Great hints on re-directing water flow and sealing the electrical connectors, however. I'll keep those in the tool bag now. I've got all my K24 customers on Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-20 and they're all running great. I use Wix filters though, lol. You are correct that Honda OE provides the right oil flow but I've never had a issue with Wix or even Supertech - just not the extended interval filters from any brand.

I had no idea there was a bearing in there! Great vid. Glad to see it happening. Did you have to use CRV tie rod ends? Someone said the taper hole for the steering arm on the strut (whatever it’s called) is a different size than on the element. Sorry if this was in the vid. I scanned a bunch because I’m ADHD

How about doing a video on how to remove the ceiling panel in the rear so you can get to the antenna to replace it on a 2003 Element.... Love your videos 👍

Would it be okay to use 5w-30 synthetic high mileage for a 04 accord almost reaching 200,000 miles or should I stick to regular synthetic and with the half quart of atf

What a difference looks great!

How much $$$?

Im starting to look around and gather parts to do this install. I’m considering getting Dobinson lift springs from the same generation CRV. Since it’s from the same generation CRV, I shouldn’t have worry about the how the springs are wound right? (since mine is a 2010 model and I heard the oem springs are different for 07-11 models), correct? Would I still use the oem top hats from the element and not from a CRV?

Thanks for putting out an informative video. When adding the ATF, do you leave it in for the duration til the next regular oil change, or do you do a shorter increment like 1k miles?

Do these covers work with the side air bags?

I agree with you about Dorman products. Some of them are really good but if you want a reliable complicated part for Honda or any other brands, stick with OEM. I've had experience with these on my Honda and Ford cars and SUV's.

What's the toggle switch with the red light for, the ejector seat?.

Great video!!! Very helpful and detailed instructions. Ellie is lookin GOOD!!!

So cool

Newer iterations of the K24, like my 2011 CR-V call for 0W-20. Also, I usually go Honda original parts, but when it comes to oil filters, Wix filters (especially XP) are not “Fake”, and usually outperform OE filters from Honda, Toyota, Subaru.

How long does it take to install

Very easy..thanks

Thanks for the information!

Did mine last year, had my wife assist. It was very trying. Months later we are still in therapy. 😃

This is some good information. Its good to see both pieces right next to each other. The arb one does look more robust. I just picked up this one at a napa grand opening for 80 bucks after some discounts and special opening pricing. Also grabbed yhe dual piston compressor for 120. For the price its great either ways.

Thanks much.

These cars have the ball joints bolted into the control arm as a separate assembly. Yes they are a horrible pain to replace. The same thing happened on my '05 CR-V when I replaced them as well. It's always the driver's side that gives you trouble. Oh and btw since your element is stick as is my '05 CR-V here's something else you need to know about these ball joints if you get an aftermarket unit. Some companies will have 2 different versions of the ball joint. For the manual transmission cars, you want to make sure that you get the ball joints with the longer threads. Apparently they use ball joints with longer threads in the manual transmission CR-Vs and Elements. Same is true for the transmission bolts if you ever have to replace a clutch on your car. Hope this helps!

Hello, I’ve purchased a 2004 Element (188k miles), seller said they were told the driver’s side axle was on its way out. I’m trying to find a replacement axle, but the aftermarket ones don’t have the damper on them, and I’m not finding OEM offered. Do you know if someone offers a rebuild kit for this axle joints? Thank you for any direction on this (I’m located in Oregon).

"Less is more with an element k24" 🤟👽🔧🎬

Looks like a b series or d series shift linkage pin 🤟🔰👽🎬

thank you...I too broke a dash plastic thinking it just popped out.

Dude you are a flipping genius. This is the best, most comprehensive P2646 explanation/fix I have ever seen, and I've seen a LOT. I'm in the process of trying to fix this code again, beating myself up, going through every line in the manual, thinking it's all my fault...although thanks to your video I found out some things I could improve on, now I know I'm not crazy. I got Dorman parts and non-Honda filters. And I'm gonna try the oil fix you specified. Gonna have to get a Honda VTEC solenoid, but no problem, money well spent if it fixes the issue. Just like you said, the Dorman doesn't work, my gasket is cracked. Gonna change everything the right way this time. I can thank you enough, my '06 E is my third child, we've been through so much together. I hate to see it suffer needlessly, is the most reliable, loyal car I've ever had. Thanks again, man

I run 10-30 on my element for no reason and it runs just fine

Thanks for this video, I purchased these for my Wife’s Element (birthday gift). I didn’t realize these were still available through Honda. They just arrived! 😎 Following your video and Honda’s instructions, their were easy to install. Thank you again for your videos.
