Fuse number 29 for the Accessory is 15A, Blue color coded.

This is actually surrounded by the 20A fuses, Fuse 30 and Fuse 26 (27 and 28 are blank I guess), which powers the window switches and motors.

Thanks. I had a failure about four years ago, ans was in a small dealership so was not sure whether they had the right fuse. Also, this time coming to to the NCR the Tropicool car fridge blew the fuse, and so replaced it from the spares under the bonnet. So I was just checking.

I got mine from a local store (Prakash Auto, Milan subway) last year for 600 to 700 bucks. The quality is good and better the what HASS at Solitaire had installed.

Novice question Sir, but where exactly is the fuse box located on the Civic? Is it easily accessible?

Thanks in advance.

Coming to the other links about the viper blades; I see the one sold on Snapdeal is not the aero twin OE Type blades. The blades are more like the second link (vicky.in) but here is a not so good report of it: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...ce-pg-3-a.html

re: Honda Civic : Maintenance, Service Costs and Must dos

Honda discontinued the Civic because of diesel cutting into petrol. That problem is now a lot less.

I wonder if they will bring in Civic and Accord again. Their offering ends at City and then there is a huge price/product gap between City and CR-V. CR-V is an extremely niche segment and can be ignored as a product segment served by Honda.

My close friend has a 5-year Civic AT at 19,000 km and I wish I could lay my hands on a used Civic/Corolla of 2010+ and <50,000 km.

Yes its the same, except for LHS config. 38 fuses under the steering column and dozen other fuses on engine bay. About the Wiper blades, I would get the Bosch Aero twin myself instead of other cheaper options. Honda quoted me 1300 for wiper blades but I dont know what brand they are going to use, So I am replacing it myself.

Although we cant comapre Vicky.in to the likes of Flipkart or Amazon, but its not that bad for a small purchase. I have bought body decals from Vicky.in before and apart from slow shipping, I didnt face any problem with them. Customer support may be poor, but if we know what we are buying then I dont think we have to even get to customer care for anything.

The OE wiper blades on my Civic were of the 'MITSUBA' brand. I have replaced them once in the last 5 years and HASS installed the same brand. This was pricey at 1600 INR just for the blades. I would be interested to hear feedback on the Bosch wiper blades and the associated cost if purchased online.

Time and again, I have logged into their site to buy something but negative reviews have kept me away till now. But I do see some good items they have which I have not been able to find in other sites. One such item is the Dupont Tyvek cover for the Civic. I had once sent a query asking about the approximate shipping time and I got a one line response sans any greetings/pleasantries. That speaks volumes about their customer service.

Have taken it to Honda Service, they retorqued the complete suspension (charged 1000 INR) and stated that the sound would come sometimes when rough patch is hit. Is it normal for other civic owners?

One more, while driving I hear a sound from steering area, similar to the sound when the indicator is disengaged after the turn is complete. Honda Service guys could not figure out what is causing it. Did anyone have a similar experience?

By the way, its 20 more days for manufacturer's warranty. Please share anything which I should check before its out of Manufacturer's warranty.

Thanks in advance.
Guys my car is having same issue. The engine mount and the front suspension has been overhauled but the clunk sound remains. It happens mostly on rough roads especially while turning left and the right wheel goes in pothole etc. Any pointers ?

Thanks

Can you please post the part number for the wiper rubber? Looks like a very good proposition against the expensive OE type blades.

Thanks.

I was worried that during the high pressure water wash at the HASS the water may seep inside, but so far no problems!

I too have a crack on my left tail lamp cover due to a two wheeler hit. I have done the same cello tape treatment and it has held on well for the last 3 years!
