Default Electrical issues?

I have a 2002 accord V6.

A bout a year ago, as I was driving down the road, the radio stopped working. The backlights work, but the radio will not turn on. Then a couple months ago, the odometer display started flickering parts of the numbers. Not all the numbers or the lights, but like the middle part of a 3, or top part of a 5. Could they be related? What could be causing this?

Thanks

Does the check engine light turn on or the battery light? You might want to disconnect the battery and clean all ends of both battery cables with a wire brush or a piece of sandpaper. Check the wire harness going from the alternator to the battery.

You can also stop by a parts store and have them test your battery and alternator.

You might want to call your local dealership and find out if the ignition switch recall was done on your accord.

All of these items are free. If these suggestions don't solve the problem, I would suggest that you get a volt meter, then we can give you some advice on what to test.
