2006 honda pilot has momentary loss of power intermittently

That sounds like a bad connection to the main fuse box. It would not effect the battery or chargeing system... only anything that the fusses would power up. Sometimes there's a wire going from the battery through a fuse and to the fuse panel. You could look into that. With the radio on.. wiggle any wires you can find that may power things up. When the radio dies your close.

i jsut started having this issue on my 2005,. radio blinks out and u can hear it in the speakers.. I was driging at night last time it did it and noticed the headlights dim.. its so fast that the headlights dont even have time to completely go out.. i cecked battery terminals and they are tight.. the connection to the main fuse box under the hood on the passenger side is tight.. so im going to check the grounds when i get a chance.

finally got around to cleaning them today. there was a film of corrosion around the terminals and posts on the battery. so i cleaned them and the 2 grounds on the radiator support just because i had easy access to them.. one of them is the negative bat cable. im going to be going for a 4 hour road trip so ill keep an eye on it.

drove 8 hour round trip to NY.. no issues.

My Pilot has same issue loss of power intermittently- anyone find a solution? My mechanic and dealership cannot figure it out

I just had this happen today, exactly how you described above. I'll clean the terminals, my battery may be due for a change. Hoping its not the alternator but I wouldn't be surprised, it has 123k miles.

its unlikely the alternator..

GuruV7KDX did you not read this thread? its your battery terminals.. clean them

2/25/19 Driving my 2005 Honda pilot today I heard a couple of clicks through the radio speakers then all power went out on the vehicle. I put it in neutral while I was coasting to see if the tachometer went up, and it it did not move. Maybe 10 to 15 seconds later while I was still coasting full power came back on. Thankfully I have a friend that is the best mobile electrician on the planet. He said he had seen this happen several times in his career on Hondas and multiple vehicles. Apparently somewhere in the ignition switch contacts, (in the colum) after repeated starting throughout the years it wears out. Basically he connected the accessory wire with the power wire together. He said that should fix it for now. I should drive it for a week. When he gets back from a business trip if there are still no problems with it he would put a relay in there and disconnect those two wires so they continue to work independently. I asked him what the percentage of this being the problem was, and he said 80 to 85%. I will let you all know in a week if his assumption was correct.

Sorry GURUCQ4V5, I tried to enter my own handle (Honda Pilot Owner) And it seems it did not want to except it. I did not mean to hitch a ride on your wagon. Apologies.

I fixed the problem. I called someone smarter than I am. He is a professional mobil mechanic. He knew what is was before he got to my house. It’s in the column, it’s a little box, if you need the name I will call him for the exact name. He changed mine over a year ago and It never happened again. Nothing like years of experience.

What is the name of the little box in the column. Thanks for your help.

What is the box. On the road now with kids experiencing this.
