dash light not working
The dash lighting including that of the speedometer is not working. The fuse was replaced with no effect.
I assume that this being my first posting of a problem that the accord 2000 model and automatic transmission is shown on the signature. I will run a scan on the car when my daughter arrives.
Is there a table listing the scan codes and the cause it represents on this form?

Dash lighting fault will not present a OBD2 code.
Following is based on earlier model (94 Accord). Yours could be different. Check autozone repair manual for a circuit diagram for your vehicle to confirm.
Suggest checking the dimmer switch assembly. Remove dimmer switch assembly from dash and disconnect electrical plug from dimmer assembly. There are 3 wires in the connector, Red, Red/Blk, and Blk. Check for ground on Blk wire of connector. Check for 12V w/ headlight switch On at Red/Blk wire. Jumper Red (not red/blk) to Blk (Ground) on connector. Dash lights should come on. If they do you have a faulty dimmer assembly.
good luck

Tech says panel needs replacing
My daughter took the car to a mechanic that said the whole panel needs to be replaced at $700. This sound like bolony to me. I think her best choice is to take it to a certified Honda mechanic at a dealer. She is in High point, nc. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for your previous replies.

Not the whole panel
Ive never heard of replaceing the whole panel for a faulty dimmer switch. The dimmer switch can be replaced without the pannel unless it was broken in some cold environment. Cold makes plastic very brittle. I run the heater if possible before doing trim work in 62- temps. Im not there so I obviously dont know the facts. just sounds wrong. Good luck. OHD
