I had recently removed my dash and taken out the instrumental panel. After about a week, today was the first time I have driven at night and I noticed all the backlights of several items are out. Like the Hazard, Clock and Reset button. The Select button is on and fine but its just the Reset that is off. Clock is as well. I am sure I got all the connectors connected since the buttons work and all. Would removing it cause the bulbs to fry?

Did you bang the instrument panel at all, or even bumped it? The bulbs in there are so tiny that anything will blow 'em. I had the same problem, I replaced two, put it back together, and two more went out. PITA!!

But, if I remember correctly, EVERY clip must be connected in order for ALL the lights to work. Check that first.

I got all the connectors connected... I am sure I banged it a little to get it to snap back into place though. Oh well, time to order like $20 worth of these tiny ass bulbs.

Like the clock works but the backlight doesnt. The Hazard button works but the backlight to it doesnt. The Select button is good but the Reset one isnt.

Be prepared to spend some dough....because the bulbs are like $7 a piece at the "stealership". Someone found another site that had them for ...$2 a piece?.....Radio Shack?.....forgot who and where.


I'll try searching now....

heehaaw

why dont they use LED's instead of crappy ass bulbs with cheap filaments? honda has been using those gay bulbs since my 1990 accord... youd think theyd learn.
