Default Interior light ?'s




2001 Honda Accord coupe: Fixed my clock light, thank you! Now, the emergency flasher and the 5 buttons to choose air flow do not light up. The emergency flashers work, and the small indicator lights above the buttons work too. Any and all help appreciated! Thanks, Steve [align=right][/align]

im a little lost on everything thats wrong but I assume its just that a few lights dont light up on the dash. Try hitting the dash a little. Do they work?

did you disconnect anything when you were working on the stereo?

here's the situation: the bulb on the clock was burned out so I replaced it. a few days later, the lights indicating the airflow direction (defrost, floor and defrost, etc.)on the 5 buttons stopped working as did the light on the emergency flasher button by the clock. the emergency flashers work fine, as does the tiny green indicator light above each of the buttons. I am stumped - is there a bulb for these buttons? could it be a fuse (doubtful as everything else works fine). thanks for your help, Steve

no, it's common for these bulbs to go out after you start replacing other bulbs. the more you touch and bother the more they fail. there are bulbs for each of the things you listed. head to the dealer, point the bulbs out in the picture they show you, and buy them, install them, and rejoice! for now you have working night time button illumination!

UPDATE: it's been a week since I posted my request for help. Since then, the lights have somehow been on 6 of the 7 days, so I decided the "cure" might be worse than the disease. I do most appreciate the timely and helpful responses to this and the clock light problems - THANK YOU! Steve
