Ok so out of no where my 2004 TSX w/ navi had no lights to tell time, temperature or any lights on buttons at night when I turn my head lights on. I took it to autozone to get a new fuse cause I thought thats what it was, but after looking at it the guy couldn't find a blown fuse. Does the TSX have two fuse boxes maybe? Does anyone know what might be wrong??

There is a TSB on the dash lights. The fix involves replacing the whole nav/stereo section of the dash. I can't remember if it's something that's covered out of warranty or not.

Whats a TSB and am I completely out of luck if I don't have warranty anymore?

Technical Service Bulletin. It's a document that gets issued by Honda Corporate to all the dealers advising them about maintenance issues. One of them was for this dash lights thing that explained the fix is to replace the unit. I don't know if this is something they'll do for free out of warranty or not as I've not dealt with it myself. Plenty of other people have, perhaps one of them can clarify?

The warranty was extended to 160,000km (100,000 miles?) on this.

Call your nearest or preferred Acura dealer, mention the problem and that you received notice about the extended warranty on this, and you'd like to schedule an appointment to have it fixed. Just don't tell them that you didn't receive the notice, but not that it should matter.

So they should just replace it after I call for an appointment?

It's actually a circuit board in the audio unit that's replaced to fix the lighting. Warr. is extended to 7yrs/100K miles for this repair. http://photos.imageevent.com/astrobo...sb/B04-021.pdf
