Everytime ive had a problem with my TL, ive googled it and always brings me here.... so i figured i should join!

My latest problem is while replacing my dash bulbs around the navi on my 2005 Tl. I got all bulbs replaced and was on my last one which was one of the bulbs under the nav, after replacing that bulb and powering back up, i hear a pop noise and smell the dreaded electrical smell.

Now none of the bulbs light up.... And the smell seems to come from the back of the screen where the controls plug in the back.

Is there anyone that has been through this?

 

uh oh.

 

I had a dodge ram before my current TL and this happened to me when replacing the center AC leds control lights, I had to replace all the bulbs and it worked fine after that. I have a few lights out on my TL now but I havent had the time to fix them yet.

 

Ill try that but it scares me because of the smell that came out of the back of the screen.... i dont see how it could have shorted out from replacing the bulb.

 

Messed with all of the bulbs and still nothing, im going to take the unit into a Honda shop tomorrow and see what they think.

I even pulled the metal cover of the back of the screen and didnt see anything burnt on the board, very weird!
