I just finished installing my iphone connection to the car, and as usual when I rip apart the dash and console I end up with a few causalities when I finish putting it back together. This time I had a screw I didn't know where it belonged an my valet lock button broke, but the one that truly has me puzzled is now the driver side thermostat controls are not back-lighting at night.
Any thoughts to this puzzler?
Thanks!
Note the driver side heat, cool, and auto buttons are not back-lit.
Mine is doing the same thing. I changed some bulbs on the steering wheel as they were out. When i bought the bulbs, the guy at Acura told me that when you start changing those, others will go out. Well, soon after that same exact one from the picture went out. It has been driving me nuts and for some reason i never thought to give it a little fist bump. Glad i just read this and going to try it after work. Hopefully it works because it has been driving me crazy. Glad i came across this thread. Thanks for the feedback...
Unreal. This morning I followed the technical procedures and made my hand into a fist and bumped dash next to the lights and....lights!
I just started laughing. Thanks for the tip guitarplayer16!
i did the same.. some went back on.. then others went out.. and im like.. wtf.. but i've looking in here to see what size bulbs i need to replace them all

Honestly it's just a coincidence the others went out. Those bulbs generally don't last all too long. I think I replaced 8 or 9 of them after I got my TL and they've all been working since. It's likely just another cost cutting measure Honda implemented with the car, so they use shitty lights.
I've said it once and I'll say it again- Honda reliability is more or less a thing of the past. I've personally owned a variety of older Hondas, as did friends of mine, and even on 12-15 year old cars, all the lights still worked inside. Get into an 8 year old TL, and a quarter of them don't work. Same thing happened with my '03 Accord.
