hey, so i bought my first acura, 1999 3.0 cl, i assume its loaded the only thing i think it is missing is the switch opposite the hazzards. its just blank. but anyway, i think i got a good deal, maybe someone can chime in but i bought the car for 7000 with 110,000 miles on it, the car was owned by an older man whos son worked for acura so it was well maintained. the car is literally in mint condition, i mean almost showroom. the transmission shifts smooth ect. the only thing i need to fix it the driver side seat heater switch doesnt light up... is this fixable? what else should i look out for? the tranny fluid has been changed every 20k. ive also noticed the interior is almost identical to our old 1997 accord, not similar to our 99 accord, weird. but anyway if someone could help with the switch problem it would help. i just sold my jeep and always got great help on the jeepsunlimted forum, and hope this one is just as good. thanks ahead.
korry

 

The spot you are refering to is where you would adjust the clock. It flips foward with hour and minute buttons

here's a pic from far away:

 

if you're missing it, you can probably pull it off an accord

 

actually if its blank and your controls are under the clock in the flip thing then that spot is for foglight switch no?



switching out that lil lightbulb can be a pain in the butt but once you get the replacement bulb and the switch out its easy from there lol

 

^^^ hmmm...different console..... 2 liter vs. 3?

 

actually from looking in ur pic you have horn buttons and cloth i would say 97 vs 98/99

 

thanks for the replys, but does anyone know how to fix the seat heater switch. the switch works, the little light comes on when you turn it on, but when you cut the headlights on, the switch doesnt light up. (the green glow) not the led.

edit: didnt see that response you left there, so have you done it before? do you pry it out, or do you have to remove the who freakin console? did you get the bulb from the dealer?

 

i dont have heated seats so i havent tried that particular switch, but i did have my sunroof button blown out and after i pryed that one out i decided to try and pry out everything with a lightbulb in the car so i could plan out a led conversion, theyre all just lil light bulbs in a lil plastic or rubber socket, some of them pull out and some of them twist out with a quarter turn. you can get the bulb wherever you can find that kinda lil bulb, i dont know the number but the bulb is teenie weenie....

if you goto autolumination.com i think the bulb is the one called "neo wedge" instrument panel bulb. have someone else confirm this.

 

thanks, im sure the bulb wont be too hard to find, my biggest concern is getting the switch out, it doesnt look easy,

 

its super easy, just stick a thin knife carefully about 2 millimeters into one of the edges and then pry, it pops right out. just be really careful not to scratch anything.
