Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 20052003 Accord EX Radio Display Lights
The display lights on my 03 Accord EX have dimmed to the point of no visibility. The radio and temp controls work perfectly, but I have to guess what the display says unless I am in bright sunlight. This seems to be a common problem, and there is no solution I can see except for replacement. My vehicle is out of warranty, and it will cost me $1000 for a new one at the dealer. If anybody has any possible solutions, or alternate methods of fixing this situation, I would love to hear them. I think I read on this group that Honda is extending the warranty on that problem. You may have to contact the field office if your dealer denies it. >The display lights on my 03 Accord EX have dimmed to the point of no >visibility.

I just had the exact same thing happen to me. Raise hell with Honda Corp if the dealer doesn't fix it.

Just because it's a TSB does NOT automatically make it a free repair (it's not like a recall in that regard). However, as has been mentioned in this thread, this is one case where Honda has covered the cost for some owners. Looking at previous messages on this subject, it looks like some have been successful in getting Honda to at least pay for the parts by filing a case with Honda. There is a TSB on the problem. 04-027. Dick >The display lights on my 03 Accord EX have dimmed to the point of no >visibility.

Someone sent me a pdf file of the service bulletin, so I will take that with me to my dealer and raise hell until I get a solution. Thanks again to everybody for their help! > The display lights on my 03 Accord EX have dimmed to the point of no > visibility.
