Update 3: Well, I blew the connections & buttons off with compressed air, put the whole thing back together, and the 1 & 4 buttons still don't function. I might just put the whole thing back together (tomorrow - it's late!) and see whether maybe I get lucky & the ribbon cable was just loose. In any case I don't think I'm going to de-solder these things and put on new ones, that's a little above my pay grade. I tested them out with my multimeter (easy since they're through-mounted) and all 6 preset switches do seem to be functional - sometimes they seem reluctant to fire, but it might just be my meter probes not making great contact with the solder. They're through-mounted normally-open tactile switches, and they seem to be sealed to the elements, so I sort of doubt they've gotten dirty contacts. Once I got the circuit board off, I could see the switch components. Update 2: yeah, I just needed to pull the knobs with more force:

But that's probably just because I yanked it loose while disassembling - there's no latch keeping them in, just the friction of the ribbon cable connector. Does anyone know whether I just need to pull with more force, or is something else going on? Here's a picture of the knobs I mean:Īlso, there's an outside chance that the failing buttons were caused by a loose ribbon cable connecting the control panel to the radio body, because when I detached the control panel, one of the ribbons was loose. After removing the 9 smll screws from the back of the circuit board, it seems like the three round control knobs on the front ought to pull off, but they're really on there tight.

Update: I have the radio out and I took off the front controls - I can't see how to detach the circuit board from the black housing, though. We have the 2006 Odyssey with Navigation & Leather Seats package. Is there some other way to enter the code, or to bypass it somehow? I can live without the preset buttons, except that we recently had a new starter put in, and the radio now needs to have its security code put in, which is done with the preset buttons. Within the last year the '1' and '4' preset buttons on my radio stopped working - at first you could play around with them & moosh them a little harder and they sometimes worked, but now they seem to be completely dead.
