Default 98 Accord LX Cluster and Power Windows Problem

Hi
i have a 98 accord lx v4
and just yesterday my cluster gauges and odometer stopped working as well as my power mirrors
wen i put the key in, the battery light and key light appears on the cluster and the cluster itself lights up too but the rest of the lights as well as the gauges are not working
the power mirrors also dont work
and my car is stuck in park
the only way to get it out is by using the shift-lock release

can someone please help me out
thanks!

I would check for blown fuses.

The ignition switch feeds power to a lot of those circuits, so that could be a possibility. There was an ignition switch recall on some 6th generation accords (98-02). Yours may or may not be part of the recall. You can call your honda dealership to find out.

Your 92 accord is a lot different the 98 accord in the original post.

There are no inline fuses that I know of on the accords. There is a fuse box under the driver's dash. If it is just the gauges not lighting up check the #2 and #8 fuses. The power windows seem to protected with the #5 fuse. I attached a picture of the fuse box.
