My night light behind my clock suddenly stopped working so i assumed my light bulb was burnt out. I bought a new one from the dealer and replaced it but it still did not work. When I tested the bulb with a battery the new one works but when i tested the contact point on the circuit board to see if there was i current i didnt find one.....WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE WRONG WITH IT?? (the car is a 2000 accord)

 

Resister would qualify as a first failure component.

agreed i just experienced the same problem. same year too. 2000 accord lx v-6 mine took place the same day i got the srs system replaced. i have been meaning to take it back to the dealer to get it looked at.

 

damn changing the resistor is out of my league.....let me know what the dealer tells you thanks

 

anybody have any new ideas?!

 

just to make sure but did you check your fuses? I'm noticing a developing trend with that year and the clock light going out... most people just replace the bulb, a few have to fix fuses.... this is the first I've heard about anything besides those two.... One or two people just convereted the light to an led...

 

No i haven't checked the fuse becaus i figured if the clock is still working than there is no need , but i will check in order to be sure.

there's a page with instructions (that you probably don't need...) however here's something else that was mentioned..

: "Remember, the bulb is a dealer only part." Not true, there is nothing special about this bulb....I picked up a pair of them at the local Radio Shack store. You will have to wind the wire leads around the mount however, then trim off the excess
