- Ok so yea most know about all these features I am showing but to be honest I did not until I saw a youtube video about the tailgate (lol) then I read the manual and found the window feature and how to change the annoying door locking feature.
I hope this helps at least one person enjoy there ridgeline a bit more, its a awesome truck.
now if I could only get the dinging to stop when you dont put your seatbelt on (lol)

These things are like software easter eggs. It's amazing that they have teams of people who sit around and think up these cool features. The sad part is, only a small percent of people will ever know they exist. Great video!
I watched this about 4 years ago and now I'm watching again just for the heck of it😮
Amazed. Ive had mine for 3 years and didnt know my tailgate opened sideways. My battery died once and i couldn't access my jumper cables because they were in the cargo area. I couldn't figure out why they would put a lock on the door if you couldn't fit a key in it because of the tailgate. I thought it was the dumbest design ever. Now I know that I am the dumbest ever. Thanks for the moment!
I have a 2007 RIDGELINE with 168,000 miles. I was wondering when do I need to change the timing belt❓ I heard every 100,000 miles. But I have a buddy that hasn't changed his timing belt and his Ridgeline has 140,000 miles and still going strong
@@tumarbongrox6074 I just changed my timing belt on my 2007 Ridgeline @ 146,000 miles. The information for that particular truck and year is to change it at 120,000 miles. The belt still seemed to be in decent shape and I'm sure it could have gone on for quite some time. The big risk in waiting is if it does break then you will likely cause severe damage to the engine because some of the pistons will collide with the open valves.
While changing the belt it is also a good time (because it is all exposed) to also change the water pump, the idler pulley, the tensioner pulley, and the hydraulic tensioner. It doesn't cost that much more. When I changed all of those parts they all seemed to still be in really good shape but when I was done I couldn't hardly believe how much quieter and smoother the engine was and even smoother driving. I was feeling some vibration in the steering wheel before and now that is completely gone.
@@tumarbongrox6074 You should change it every 100,000 miles. It will last longer than 100,000, but it will eventually break. and when it does it will total your truck. Change the timing belt every 100,000 and it will run forever
Get the hell outa here. I bought mine new in 2006. I'm just discovering this window trick today in 2018
I got mine a month ago 2012 rtl and dis shit got the dealership guy shook lol
Just learned something new myself!
@@henryc1793 hahahah can't imagine that
I have a 2008, it's 2019 😂😂😂
That's honda for u!
Didn't know my Honda could be this magical
Oh shnnnap!! Just bought a 2007 Honda Ridgeline in 2021, and this 9yr old video blew my mind with the window & lock features of this!! 🤯🤩 Thanks!!
7 years later and you just educated the shit out of me. Thanks for the info man!!
It took 7 years to learn. Did not know you could close all the windows with the key, thanks!
Same with all Hondas
The 11th commandment… Thy shall read thy owners manual
After the start of this video I can't believe I learned something new. Thank you for the section on the automatic locking doors
Just got my first truck, an 06 ridgeline! This is super helpful even in 2020, thanks!
WOW i have had my honda ridgeline for 14 years and did not know those little tricks. i knew about the tailgate but I just rolled the windows down. wohoo! thanks.
Thanks for the video. I've had my Ridgeline since 06...never read the manual. The door lock trick is exactly what I need.
Wow I have had my Ridgeline for 7 years and there have been dozens of occasions when I was going to get rid of it because every time I drop someone off, they pull the handle and it is locked. Then I have to figure out which one of the 7 grey buttons to press. Or when I drop my kid off at school, get out and go all the way to the rear right door, to find out it is still locked. Or when I just got out and go to open one of the other doors and it auto-locked. OMG I googled for this on the RIdgeline forums in 2009 and people said it wasn't possible without messing w/ the computer. You are a god! And now I know the window trick too. Great for when my kid forgets and I have to turn the key back on.
I have my ridgeline for three years and I never knew this!!! Cool!! Thanks for sharing dude 💪
Just got a 2013 Ridgeline, thanks for the tips. The info on changing the locking behavior will really come in handy!
Thanks for that tip on the windows, I had to go out and try it right away even though it was raining out. Super cool
Ive always known about the swing gate . Best secret is the trunk. People that don't own this truck have no clue lol.. I get the looks all the time when I open it. They are like oh wow...
my wife has a 05 honda odyssey and I found the window unlock feature with the key but accident and knew my ridgeline did that also but never thought to try the remote to roll down the windows... that's awesome and really glad there is a different option for the way the locks work.. I have to hit the unlock button for my wife everytime we get out somewhere so I will definately be changing that soon. thanks for the video man
Thanks for the video. I knew about the window down feature, but I didn't know about the window up. Yet one more reason to love my Ridgeline.
I have an '06 and love it. Great little truck. Great video!
Thank you for doing this video! I already love my Ridgeline for the obvious features, hands down the best vehicle I ever owned.
Lisa Vasil I just found the off/on lock/unlock button for the trunk inside the glove box on the left. It's black on black so I never saw it.
Battery went dead can you tell me the code to get the he radio and GPS
Back on
life saver!!!! the all door unlock is amazing!! my poor family complains every time! Thanks man!!!!
Thank you much. The window thing is awesome, only had the truck 3 years and never knew. Just got an oil change not at the dealer and went online to see how to set it back to 100%. Now if I can just get the diagram showing the engine shape, in yellow, off, I won't mind the $1300 for an oil change which turned to 4 new tires and...other stuff I can only marvel at, with my jaw on the floor. 35k miles and still a mystery, but when everyone else is snowed in, I give them rides or save packed schoolbuses stuck on the mountain. Ridgeline: it's like love, you learn something new each day.
(Cool accent, man. Very cool.)
Just bought one a few days ago. The window and door was great. Thanks so much for video.
My windows went down today and I knew how to hold the button to make them go down which is what I did. Well then only the drivers somehow woulds go up no matter what I tried..I used the trick to put key in door and clicked it to the left twice and my windows went up..yayyy. ive never had windows problems but this saved the day for now..2010 Honda ridgeline.. thanks a bunch.
I'm going today to look at 07. glad I saw this video, I will definitely test all that
Hey did you ever test drive it? Looking to get one myself
9 years later and you're still pissing people off. I just bought a 2010 from a friend who bought it new, and he was pissed when I showed him this video! hahahahaha!
I tried on my 11 Honda Pilot and those the same thing , GREAT TIPS!! THANKS!
Thanks for this video. I've owned two of these and never knew about the window trick. And, the lock upgrade is a must. First thing I did.
Good job man! I'm trading my accord for the ridge and just ran out to the garage to check on the key/close all windows trick on my Accord and it worked! Never knew it. I always use the key button to roll all the windows down on the Accord. Great way to get the summer heat out of it before you get in. Honda makes great vehicles.
Thanks for the info! The passenger always gets stuck in the truck initially- problem solved~
Thanks
Thank you for this video! it changed my relationship with my ridgeline
2013 Ridgeline RTS. To fix the "all door unlock" when in put into Park is easier than you explained! (at least for my truck) All you do is put your put your truck in park, shut the door, put on the parking brake, leave the truck in park, turn the key to (II) and hold down on the master lock/unlock button. You will hear a click after about 5 seconds. Release the lock/unlock master and within 5 seconds, turn ignition switch to lock (O). DONE!! So now when you get to where ever and put truck in park, all doors unlock!! Put truck in drive and when you get to 5-10mph, all doors lock. Just sayin'...
Going to follow these steps when I set it up
Thanks for the video. Great tip about the windows... will come in handy when my black interiorer is 140 degrees during these Sacramento summers!
This is a great Tips and Tricks Honda Ridgeline Video.
Great video love the tips, makes me want a ridgeline even more now!!!!
In the glove box there is a little switch for locking the back cargo area..
Tell me more.
Cool
It also locks when you lock the car tho...
Love my 2014 Ridgeline!
Thank you! That door lock situation is annoying.
Just bought an '08 RTL and I did not know about the automatic window roll down feature. How cool! Thanks!!
+Michael Webb Awesome man, I still have mine and planning on keeping it as long as it will let me :)
Me too, I love this truck! I had an Element before this and I loved that too, but I wanted V6 power and a bit more storage room, so I went to the Ridgeline when my Element was totaled in an accident a few weeks ago.
Mind blown, brother! Thank u so much for the vid, i needed this
just bought a ridgeline and like you don't ever read manuals lol but that's cool with about the windows and I'm going to change the dumb locks now great video
Just acquired this truck. Definitely helped
heck yeah, gotta love the ridgeline
didnt know ab the window tricks this is awesome thx
Thanks. I'm on my 2nd RL. I did not know I could change the auto door lock feature.
Thanks
Appreciate this video bro I did not know about the windows rolling down with the key👍🏾
good video bud helped me out on my truck
This is the only Vechile keeping Honda alive along with the Si coupe and Honda Accord V6MT
Also, the alarm will go off if you lock the truck using the key remote and then unlock it from the inside. I left my son in the vehicle one day when I put away a shopping cart, and I locked the door. He unlocked it from the inside to get out, and the alarm went off.
Thats cool, I didnt know about the accord doing it too so thats awesome, you would think the sales people would show you this stuff but all the guys I talked to didnt know lol.... glad I could help :-)
Thanks!!! That's extremely helpful.....
Thanks for the video!
Much appreciated! Thabks for the tips, about to buy a 2013 model after i trade in my 2006 Honda Element. Awsome tips again thnx!
Lol, Sounds like me when I found out.... ran outside straight away haha
Awesome! Thanks much for this!
Great video man!
did not know that about my ridgeline, thanks for the video
+Andy Maccani Awesome! Glad it helped
Andy Maccani can you lift the bed up to get to the spare,you didn't mention it probably you already know hmmmm.
Excellent video keep doing it
Thanks so much for the information love it
Awesome! I am glad I am not the only one that thought this was annoying lol. Glad it helped :-)
Hey thats great man, I still have mine and still luvin it.... I bought a 1965 VW Bug too but you know its a sunday driver lol
If you put the key into the door and turn it to the left three times, like you're locking it three times basically, your alarm goes off. I think it's if someone is trying to rob you as you're about to get into the truck or some sort of thing along those lines.
Aron Racoma isn't that what the panic button could do? Lol
I like the option of all the doors staying looked after you park. the GMC all the doors unlocked when in park, that is a great opportunity for someone to run up on other side of truck, open door and now you're getting robbed.
Cool, some good info. I gotta mess with changing the locking system
I too don't like to read the manual. Thanks for the tips. Great truck Btw.
Cool man, i am glad it helped. I was the same way man when I found out lol,
thanks bro. cool to know with the windows and the lock thingy
Nice ridgeline, these look great with canopies too
I never knew that about the windows. thanks
I still have my ridgeline and plan on getting a new one if anything ever happens to this one lol... Love it Love it Love it :-)
Me too now its 14 years old 48k
wow, thanks, man!!!! I'm just like you very helpful...
Awesome, I am glad it helped. I felt like I got a new truck again when I found out (lol)
Sure did helped me thanks!
Awesome man, glad it helped
Dude my key won't turn the ignition and my window was down. This video sakes my life!
This is so cool! I don’t have the owner manual.
great truck dude I just got one.
Cool, I saw a white one yesterday at my kids school, made me jealous they had every option on it you could get with the sunroof, bed cover, trailer hitch, gps in the dash..... man I would love to have a sunroof lol
Thanks man! I just bought an 07 and am discovering all sorts of things with it. I bought it because it doesn't flex like most trucks, feels like the 84 Nissan it is replacing. Later Nissans flex like Chevys. No bueno here.
Right. I have the same & it feels like the 91 Pathfinder, which hugged the road like the 82 Lincoln. Only thing I don’t like is the lack of clearance underneath.
@@sunshine3914
Just that it opens and closes with the switch on the driver's door. My warning indicator only shines and buzzes if you shut off the vehicle with that window open. Double click door unlock on your fob and hold, the windows all go down. Same on driver's door key receptacle.
is so cool, thank you for sharing
Good Video bro👍🏼
Just bought my 2nd Ridgeline. Only like Gen 1. Going to try that Lock Feature out but How could you not KNOW about the Secret Trunk. The REASON I went from an SUV to the Ridgeline. Best Truck in the World. Selling my 2006 w only 82,000 miles because I just got a 2011 w only 6,000 miles lol
Altho the BMW Dealership didn't even know about the Secret Bed. lol
Awe you made my Day :-)
Awesome I tried this on my RidgeLine it works all I can say is thanks. I had no clue it would do this.
My 07 vw rabbit did both. Very good for hot days or if u forgot to close a window or the sunroof u could do it this way.
Awesome!! Thank you!
Wow this is awesome
didn't know about holding the unlock button to roll down windows tho, nice!
Good tips. Best tip is to read the manual, or at least browse it a little!
Excellent 👍
Hey great video
Thanks for the info man. Nice work. My Dad just bought a used 2010 Ridgeline and this helped him out.
tHANKS FOR THE TIPS
