| Reconnecting the Tube Auxiliary Jack |
The A/C tube most likely fell out when you removed the audio system part, and even if it didn’t it’s not that much help. The tube is only long enough so that it just connects when the audio system is back in place. As soon as you start removing it, it will disconnect. As a result, it is an absolute pain reconnecting it unless you have small hands (if so, place the tube in the general area where it should be, then use your fingers to guide it in via the small hole next to the tube connector).
You could try removing some of the lower panels to gain access, or alternatively, what I did was connect the tube to the end deep inside the car (look underneath the centre right A/C vent and you’ll see another clear tube) until it clicked, then stuck a piece of long sticky tape around the other end and left the long tail of the tape dangling outside the part area. Then when the audio system was nearly in, I used the long tail to guide the tube into position. Took patience, but I finally got it, pulled harder to take the sticky tape off and gave the whole part a shove to get back into position. That’s one part I’m not hoping to have to take out again anytime soon.
Hope this helps someone out (saving them 200 or so bucks for the genuine part + installation), though I understand the new 2007 Civics all have these inputs built in anyway.
