Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2008Interior and Instrument cluster lighting
Accord 2004 EXL coupe, it has a redish color of the interior lighting - are these incadescent bulbs with red-transparent caps or something else, like red LEDs? I have heated seats and driver side switch lost its backlight. Not sure if this is just blown bulb or something more with wiring... I know LED do not go off like the regular incadescent bulbs... How do I go about of fixing this switch backlight? How to remove the switch for inspection ? They are mini incandesent lamps with plastic covers on them. Honda must use a very poor quality lamp as there are constant complaints on www.odyclub.com about them going out. Most are replacing them with mini lamps from Radio Shack as they are a lot cheaper than the dealer. > Accord 2004 EXL coupe, it has a redish color of the > interior lighting - are these incadescent bulbs with [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > How do I go about of fixing this switch backlight? > How to remove the switch for inspection ? > They are mini incandesent lamps with plastic covers on them.

I do not think I could find 2004 on the yard yet... BTW - Do you know how to remove the lighted switch for the heated seats? I would not like to scratch the surface or break some latch doing this without a guidance... >> They are mini incandesent lamps with plastic covers on them.

Use a flathead screwdriver with a wrap of electrical tape or a paper towel. >>Do you know how to remove the lighted switch for the heated seats? >>I would not like to scratch the surface or break some latch doing >>this without a guidance... > Use a flathead screwdriver with a wrap of electrical tape or a paper > towel. So I need to just pry it up? Should I put screwdriver to the gap on the long or short side? > Accord 2004 EXL coupe, it has a redish color of the > interior lighting - <SNIP> > How do I go about of fixing this switch backlight? > How to remove the switch for inspection ? ----------------------- www.slhondaparts.com has your diagrams.

Excellent site - thank you very much! I am not sure if I know how to properly use it. See at the diagram: http://www.slhondaparts.com/browse.asp?Model=ACCORD&Year=2004&TrimLevel=2DR+EXL+ SIDE+CURTAIN&TransLevel=5ATKA&Section=E&Category=B++15++%7CWINDSHIELD+WASHER&Par tCatalogId=14SDN0&ViewParts=true I am guessing item #15 is the washer reservoid level sensor. How do I find its part #? It is probably available only in Canadian models, but still... |
