dash lights pulsate - squeaks!
When I roll to a stop, or slowly drive through a parking lot etc, all of my dash lights pulsate, as do my climate control and radio displays. Does anyone know anything about this?
Also... will dealers fix those annoying squeaks near the windshield and sunroof? I was told that there isn't a service buletin for it... My '00 is at about 45,000 and I'd like to have warranty work done b4 it's up at 50,000, any suggestions? Thanks!

well the lights dimming could be you alt. going out. do you have a system in your car? regardless you should tell your dealer about it ,they should check your elec system. There's about 6 TSBs for sqeaks the catcher is that most dealers just won't fix all of them without spec. customer complaints on each one. Tell them your seats sqeek the sunroof the dash the trunk. good luck.
Deff get it to the dealer before 50k thats what i did and they took care of thing i never would have thought they'd do.
tell them your throttle sticks sometimes and they'll clean out the Throttle body(I just found out that the PCV lets the CC oil vapors into the throttle body where it passes the "butterfly" and then is mixed in with the fuel, well it builds up on the butterfly and makes it stick closed, eazy fix if you wanta get your hands dirty)

Thanks guys, I'll bring it to an Acura dealer as soon as I can. If anyone can think of anything else under warranty, that I should ask them to look at, I'd really appreciate it!

The sunroof squeak is a known issue and is a five-minute repair using tape (search will yield multiple topics on that issue). I had that done on my '02 over a year ago and it never squeaked again afterward. The dealer will take care of dash squeaks toounder warranty.
