I've always been puzzled as to what these two "blank buttons" (the one to right of the VSA/cruise control and the one to the right of the gauge brightness control) are for, they look like a space for an added option but what? I don't have navi, and the pixs of the ones ive seen with them appear to have the same thing. anyone know?

 

i'm pretty sure that was the generic dash used between the CL/TL. in which case, the TL had a button to switch the fog lights on/off. here is what it looks like installed into my CL...

 

Yep, what CLeanCL said...

It's a standard dash layout that Acura uses, and then put in blockoff plates to fill the holes of unused spots.

AND we're also missing the low windshield wiper fluid indicator that the Canadian CL's have but we don't

p.s. the above thread was posted half jokingly... I was bored that day

 

What about the the blank next to the dimmer?

 

The smiley use is outstanding in that post! :wink:


Fuzzy, I also wonder about the blank next to the dimmer.

 

i thought it was for a factory alarm system, but i'm not sure.

 

Ejection Seat option, maybe ??

:troutslap

 

I already had that installed. The button is on the back of the steering wheel, where have you been?

 

yeh i called acura and they said its an optional ejector seat for when your tranny shifts from 5th to 2nd on the freeway and there is a mack behind you..

 

Holy crap that really happens to the Autos (Gear Shift)? Thank god I don't have to worry.

 

 

Remember the TL and CL share a lot of the same parts as the Honda Inspire).

It's for the folding mirror option on the Honda Inspire.

 

thats great


CleanCl what was required in the installation of that road lamp button?

 

Good question, how hard is it to install the TL fog light switch? I have an Evo III body kit...(Yea, I know, dont say it! LMAO), and I have a buttin beside my steering wheel to turn them on and off.............yea, i could search, but its late, and im tired! LOL

 

 

here is a post i made in reference to a post fuzzy made in reference to... i forget but here it is, not bad at all.

courtesy of fuzzy02cls, i used this to install my aftermarket fogs

I just did this. You cannot get the wire harness from the TL. Well yes you can but it's the whole dash harness which is almost $200. You can not get just the harness for the fog light switch. You need the whole part 23, comes with everything. Here's my post.

Also someone PM's me about it so here's that post as well:
Not sure on the wires of the hella kit. I used PIAA, & the the wires going to that kits switch were red, black, & white. Hopefully it's the same. On the 03 TL switch, you have to cut the plastic around the pins. Just cut around it, & you'll end up with all the pins only sticking out of the switch. The PIAA's switch has 3 wires. The TL switch has 5 pins. You have to splice a wire to the black to make them into 2 wires. Crimp small female spade connectors to each wire from the black, & the white wire.(3) Use a large wide female spade connector for the red wire. Hold the TL switch with the green led facing the top. The pins should be(going down) Black, Red, Red, White, Black. Connect the spliced black wire to the black pins, connect the red wire to the red pins. Using the wide spade connector lets you slid it over both TL pins, Then you will connect the white wire to the last pin, but you will have to turn it sidways so it's doesn't contact any other pins, That will cause a short. Here the switch pic.

Like I said not sure if this will work with the Hella kit. The rest of my install is in my post. Also I had to change the pins around from the orginal directions from the TL board cause they were for a Honda switch. The pinouts here are for a 03 TL switch, an 02 should also be the same.

Good luck


input from me:

What I did differently, I took 3 of the smallest female spades i had, and clipped the ends so only one little end of the female was left, this allowed me to make a tight fit over the pin without worrying about touching any other pins... and then just use a normal female to go over both positives, the RED connectors worked perfect (smallest ones)

 

^ last paragraph from me, i would recommend just solder the wires, but the spade connectors are easy too.

 

Solder didn't work for me. I tried that first.

 

thanks alot guys!

 

Now how do we go about getting a set of those?

 

i guess its not the right kind of metal, i didnt even try, thanks for the heads up.

 

 

and thats for what? im old scool i got curb feelers

 

anyone ever import or know how to get these accessories? i bet a lot of you will think they're useless, though.
