Pilot Touring 2020 - Electrical Snapping/Cracking Loud Sound?
Hearing this sound from dash of new pilot touring. Some time less sometimes a lot. Not sure if due to cold weather or issue inside some cable connection etc. Any suggestion?
~~UPDATES~~
2019-12:: Brand New Honda Pilot Touring 2020 - strange random snapping/cracking loud sound from the dashboard area, mileage is less than 2,200 KM yet. Hard to trace source.
2020-01-05 :: Sound frequency increased.
2020-01-08 :: Drive during the day to the office but no sound but at night lots of continuous sound (when recorded videos). As sound did not stop so parked SUV.
2020-01-09 ::
~Contacted nearby large Honda dealership (15 min drive) Pickering Honda but they denied to look at it and suggested to take dealer where I bought (1 hr drive). Quite frustrating that how dealership work based on ownerships, not under Honda umbrella.
~Contacted Markham Honda and drove to original dealer who sold this pilot. Sound was loud on driving but after 2-3 min stopped and whole central console/screen dead, no light, not button working and no sound.
~Before parking in dealership make another video with dead lifeless screen while ignition on.
~ after an hour, the dealership told me the screen working fine and they did not find anything. Also told infact it was working fine when they moved suv inside shop.
I wanted to know what they did which activated system and screen.
First I was told none.
When I told I have video just before you took in shop they change narrative and was told me that guy did basic checks and reset software.
Still, they did not acknowledge if they replace any connector or at least re-conned loose cables etc.
They suggested bringing back if the problem appears again.
On driving back home, all good no sound.
2020-01-10 :: On drive to the office, initially no sound. As I changed airflow to the front screen due to fog, one light cracking sound again, and couple of more.
Changed air flow back, then no sound rest of driving.
