Hi Everyone,

I recently bought a 2005 TSX (non-navi) and noticed that the center console radio, temperature controls back-lighting is not working. I researched the problem and believe its a common problem with TSXs.

I have heard that the PCB (printed circuit board) needs to be replaced.

I just want to be 100% sure before I replace the PCB. Has anyone had the similar issue?

What the part number and where I can order from?

thanks

Mine is flickering right now. I'll be watching for any answers you get.

I'm pretty sure that replacing the PCB is the common way to fix the issue.

If mine ever goes out, I'll solder on my own LEDs to replace the lamps. Did Acura use incandescent lamps for the back lighting? I know they did with various other buttons, as I have replaced several just as preventative maintenance and to lower my electrical load. Seems crazy to use Edison bulbs on a recent luxury car.

I would put my money on the bulbs themselves. I had to replace a few on my 7th gen accord that has less than 75k on it which uses the same bulbs as the tsx.
