look in manual for fuse locations.

check fuse first.

Not fuse. If you looked at how the radio works, the same fuse covers the radio and the centre console lights. Your circuit board has become defective from overheating. You need to change the circuit board.

It doesn't look good.:( as Aaron said the centre console needs to be replaced.There have been a few threads on this.i think you can get a remanufactured unit.check with Honda spares first,then maybe wreckers for a 2nd.hand unit.

I think I will pull it apart one day to stick on a thermal pad as preventative maintenance. http://tsx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=779285#post779285

dang.... what would generate the heat to melt the OPCB board? The radio's puny amplifier?

i seem to have a similar problem, however only the light for the pass. seat warmer is out, the one for the driver's seat is ok and lights up when the headlights are on...
is there a problem with my bulb or the actual fuse?

EuroAccord13 had this problem happen to him. It is common in USA, but not common in Australia.

The bulb is blown. You can take the bulb out from the side of the seat heater switch after you pull out the gearshift trim. Not sure if you have to buy the bulb from the dealer or if you can find it being sold elsewhere.

Yes you can get these LED globes from any place which has LED instrument type bulbs, I bought my 2 for left and right from Ozzie Spares in fairfield for $5 each.

You need to use a resistor for the LEDs in the seat warmer buttons. Or the led will just sizzle...and stink up your car. lol.

Why would you need to use a resister when the LED bulb/globe I bought is identical pretty much as the one from Honda...........its not an LED from Jaycar or Dicksmith...its a globe........

[Ken-f]

I got mine from Jaycar.
