Heater Control Valve Cable Fix 05 Honda Odyssey 3.5L

In this video I'll show you how to prevent the heater control valve cable from popping off the heater control valve on an 05 Honda Odyssey 3.5L. The idea for this video was brought about by a question one of my viewers had about his A/C not blowing cold in the full cold setting. After doing a little digging I found that this is a common problem with some Odysseys, well at least the 05 to my knowledge. The fix is very simple and involves taking a little vacuum hose and applying it to the valve to keep the cable from popping off. This is probably one of the cheapest and easiest repairs anyone could make on a vehicle and it works. So, if you are having a problem with your A/C not blowing as cold in the full cold position or the heater not blowing hot in the full hot position then I'd advise you to take a look at this component and make sure the cable is connected. If it's not then follow the instructions in the video to repair.

The heater control valve is located on the fire wall just behind the engine by the way.

Warning!! Please use extreme caution when working around your vehicle's cooling system. Yes, your heater control valve is a part of that system. Be sure the vehicle is totally cool before working on it and even then uses extreme caution because the cooling system could still be hot.
