vikky1971 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I have 2014 Honda Amaze idtec and not fitted with DRLs. Philips make DRLs aren’t available in India so I got them from an acquaintance in USA. With the electrical diagram mentioned in the manual could connect right hand side DRL strip. The manual missed to mention that the engine needs to be started when testing the LED lights. Later I figured it out. Lately very busy so I would connect the left side too. one doubt I have is the DRL controller gets too hot. Is this normal?

vikky1971 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Today completed the job. Gave the connections, as soon as the engine starts DRLs will light up and when parking lights are turned-on, the DRLs will turn off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikky1971 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 The blower securing to the motor of the indoor unit of my kid’s room 0.9T hitachi AC was overtightened and broken by the AC technician and after six months when I saw it, I was disappointed. Even if I had confronted the hitachi, they wouldn’t accept it. So with great difficulty I removed the blower-motor assembly and drilled the screw and extract it with extractor( threads damaged).On the opposite side of the screw, drilled 3mm hole and tapped with M4 tap and secured the blower with the motor with M4 Allen screw, thread with copper paste to avoid future troubles. Job done.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librankur Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Did a noisy blower draw your attention to this in the first place Technician general don't remove this part during service , was it an old rattling problem that resurfaced requiring a relook by you. What kind of drill bits are you using , when I do such drilling I tend to break a lot of them Most importantly how did you manage to keep the axle steady during drilling , you surely have a far greater sized tool kit than I had imagined earlier.

vikky1971 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 @librankur Regrets! The post got a bit lengthy. If you see the broken screw, the surface wasn’t uniform so I ground the face, so that I could use a Bosch drill (HSS) bit of 1.5 mm, almost in centre. Later drilled with 2.5mm. This drill got offcentre and damaged the threads. I used WD40 and a screw extractor to remove the remains of whatever screw was left. As this face couldn’t be used, I had to partly cut the fin on the opposite side to again drill and tap it. I am using makita cordless drill. I too, sometimes, break drill bits. The motor shaft is just plain shaft but it enters the sleeve mounted in the blower. The sleeve was SS but drillable. While drilling I had to insert a metal screw to prevent bending. Metal sleeve is attached to the thermoplastic blower with rubber. I myself clean the blowers of split AC if deposits on them increase. The air flow drastically reduces if fins get dirty. Blower needs to be soaked in soapy solution then to be cleaned with water spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikky1971 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Today I installed a exhaust fan in the masterbed room’s bathroom. Well! Drilled a 105mm hole in the wall with a 12mm concrete drill two days back. I had to pull three wires(15A, one wire to replace the removed one and two, 5A, wires for the fan)with the aid of, in place, old wire.

vikky1971 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 “AC ON” display stopped lighting after 5 years, so inquired with Honda service centre, their reply renew the whole switch assmy. That’s ridiculous! After struggling for some time, I could remove & dismantle the switch. The bulb assmy is with a 2mm diameter filament bulb, which produces a lot of heat, thus making the switch hot. Now I turned and lifted the fused bulb assmy. Filament bulb’s two end are wire which are twisted in the bulb holder. What I did is renew it with blue LED with a resistor to withstand 12V DC. The soldering needs to be clean and wrapped with heat shrink tube. The final result is as shown in attached pictures and total cost just 15₹ plus 100% satisfaction.
