What's your next move?

Well, that's cheaper than good speakers. I have McIntosh bookshelves that I mainly get used for watching movies, which is rare, and Sennheiser headphones I've had since I was 13, which is almost 30 years ago. That old pair is better than any consumer level headphones I've listened to. Mainly I listen to music in the car, and the headphones are for blocking noise so I can fall asleep listening to audio books and stay asleep while when people in the house make noise in the morning.

Bose noise cancelling is damn good. Reportedly the best. I'll see how these Sony work out. The Bose in-ear cost another $125, and they don't review any better than the Sony. I still have the Bose over-the-ear noise cancelers, but I can't sleep with them on. I can generally sleep fine with in-ear headphones.

I don't remember why but they came up in conversation today at work. Apparently they don't use a lightbulb anymore. They have a real heating element.

From what I gather, most common problem when it throws the code is stuck open thermostat; running too cool. Just watched a video how to R&R and looks like a pretty easy job. it is right up front. Draining the coolant looks like the worst of it. Thermostat is cheap and I'm still in the original. Then go from there.

That's what I figured but didn't want to assume. I suggest monitoring reported temp from cold start. I had a temp sensor go bad in a weird way once. Had a dead spot so it would start to track temp until a certain point. Then it snapped hard cold.

It's most likely the thermostat but, since you already have the tools, monitoring is free confirmation.

And look nothing like an oven.

Need to figure out how look at the sensors. Honda has two temp sensors. I'll read up on it At work tomorrow with torque app. it seems to be running fine, but I'll have Mrs. Ho take the twin till I get it fixed just in case. I'll have to drive the truck with the crazy wipers and the mud steering wheel.

Thanks for the suggestion. Works great. $20 well spent!

I hate that it has a button to set it back to :00. Why?
