Centre console and audio controls dont light up.

[D R U]

My centre console and audio controls don't light up at all.

I parked the car at the gym, came back and it just didn't light up.

I've checked all the fuses, interior and under the bonnet, they're all ok.

Car has no mods at all. So i havent played around with the electricals.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Is there another fuse box apart from the one in the driver side kick panel and under the bonnet?

Thanks for the help.

I vaguely remember someone else having this problem.

Thanks. I did a search before, but nothing came up, must've put the wrong key words in.

Anyone else experience this problem?

Honda will replace the whole unit it if you are still under warranty, if not, you will have to pay for a new unit even if everything else is working.

bump*

you might have got in before my edit!

Its not under warranty anymore, i've got a 2003 model, they might do it under good will...

But i doubt it..

Hey i currently have this problem with my euro. I was told by a honda dealer that i need a "change over unit". Cost around $500 inc installation. But before they do that they want to run some test. Which costs around $50-150. I should be booking mine in for the tests next week if i have time.

D R U where are you located?

As previously stated in the other thread, contact Honda Australia yourself and they will direct you with what needs to occur. Explain that you know others that have had this issue in the past and Honda Australia has replaced the unit under good will.

I've had the same problem with a 2003 model as well. Keep us informed how it goes.

How hard could it be to fix? I mean the hardest part is dismantling the unit, after that, you probably just need to resolder a dry joint somewhere, or replace a simple component you can get from Jaycar

Im in the strathfield area.

I called up larke hoskins today and asked them the price for a complete replacement unit..

$1500... :eek:

That's my thoughts exactly, and taking it apart shouldnt be that difficult - someone did a DIY on changing the dash lights - i might follow that and take a look at the circuitry.

It's a failure inside the circuit board.... Good luck finding out which component. If it was me, I'd pick up the radio unit from the wreckers, and swap circuit boards. The swapping is DIY-able.

[r-r-redEuro]

try to find the sat nav version and do the swap =P

[power_of_dreams]

I know I would..

lol yeah typical dealer overpricing for something worth 1/4 of the price.

For $1500 u can get an indash DVD/MP3 player, headunit mount, Amp, VTEC sticker, and speakers

[r-r-redEuro]

^ LOL at vtec sticker.

If you find Euros, I want to get the A pillar panels

[aaronng]

Call up the Honda wreckers.

Call Honbits and Hontoys (google ftw), they have euro bits, but not many though since its a late model.

The TSX has a different radio to us... we have a simular unit to the US Accord.
