Hi Matt, I am performing this job on my car radio and I am at the point
where I have the circuit board before me and to my surprise, I do not have
a 2.3 ohms receptor where it should be. I have the one above and the one
below, but the receptor that belongs in the middle is missing. Instead,
what I believe I have is the metal rectangular shaped part that goes below
the receptor and it says 000. How would you recommend I proceed?

Hi Matt, I saw Mitch’s video, but since he did not show the part where he
actually soldered or bridged the wires, I was left not knowing how to
perform the task. He did provide the alternative pen method and then I came
across your video. I thought your video was going to show a more detailed
approach to soldering/bridging the cables; however, I was pleasantly
surprised when I saw you used the pen method!! I might go with this method.
(Maybe you should include “pen method” on the title of the video.) Thank
you for demonstrating a more detailed process with the removal and
placement of the radio, as well.

I noticed that water thermometer is a little on the left. Is it normal or
does it happen to all 2003 honda accord models ?

Hey Matt, great job on the video. Did your repair on my Honda and it
worked. Started the repair on a Saturday and being the impatient soul that
I am only waited 20 hrs and initially thought repair a no go for me.It’s my
second car with snows that I drive in winter. Three days later start it up
and bingo. Lesson learned wait the full 24 hours for the circuit writer to
cure. Thx

Hi Matt, I have the same problem too. Have you read any suggestions that
it’s one of the resistors that’s causing the problem? The resistor is
placed next to the part you’re shortcuting. Thx.

Hey Matt when you fixed this problem was it just for the back light that
wasn’t working or was it also the audio and display? bc I have the opposite
problem back lights work but my stereo won’t play and I have no display at
the same time. And has the problem completely gone away?

ma sa says:

thanks for the video, really helpful!! I did everything, and worked
perfect! but when i started the car, the light turned off again!! I’m sure
i left it for a day when i used the circuit pen!! any ideas plz?

Thumbs down video man you take too long to get to the point what’s wrong
with your stereo

kszeng says:

hey, congrats on fixing the problem that bugs most honda accord drivers. so
how’s everything working out so far? since you just bridged it over with a
sort of conductive paint without any resistance, did it cause anything else
in the car not working at all? I just took everything apart today, and am
thinking to bridge with a 220 ohm resistor over it and see how that would
work.

Do the 2003 accords have a stereo code to make it work?

lights… i followed ur vid but my circuit board is diff theres no r797
