Several Interior Lights Out But No Broken Fuse??

Several of my interior lights (steering wheel lights for the channel up and down, volume up and down, temperature control lights, power window control lights, etc) have been out for a while. Funny thing is that most of the other interior lights are lit up completely fine and the fuse is perfectly fine. I asked Acura about the problem and they said it'd be about 300 bucks to fix it, didn't specify exactly what was wrong though. Any ideas? Thank you

I had the same problem. You need to replace the bulbs. Go to the Garage and you will find DIY on how to remove the side trims to get to your radio. There is also a DIY on how to get to your steering wheel lights. You will need to purchase the bulbs. Go to Delray online parts and you can find the part numbers there. It will take about 2 hours to replace all your bulbs. Good luck

One important thing. Remove the battery cables before replacing the bulbs. The last time I opened my center console to replace my lock shift solenoid I did not disconnect my battery. When I put everything back in some of my lights went out thus the reason i had to replace them. When I replaced the bulbs, I disconnected my battery cables and non the other bulbs blew. Just an FYI. If you do not have your radio and navi code this is a good time to get your serial numbers from behind the unit and contact the dealer to get the codes for you. If you have your codes then no worries. You will need to enter them after you installed everything together.

Bulbs burn out naturally.

When you're at it, you might as well replace the surrounding bulbs.

You'll DEFINITELY want to replace all the bulbs in the steering wheel even if some still work because taking apart the steering wheel isn't fun. It'll save you from having to do it the second time.

Wouldn't that suck if you replaced the 2 steering wheel bulbs, put everything back together, then tommorow you found out another bulb in your steering wheel burned out?

Been through this already (replaced 18 bulbs).

my DUAL and OFF buttons no longer light up. Can anyone help me with a link on where to order these bulbs? I know this is an old thread.
