no audio and internal lights but little fuses seem to be unfused

guys
merry x'mas.

I pushed one of the internal lights to turn it on last night. Next few seconds, all the internal lights shut off and the cd player died out. This means that the control panel died out.

Geeezzz.

I checked the fuses (based on the manual ) found in the internal fuse box (located pretty much next to the accelerator pedal).

I am out of wits... I have an appointment booked with Honda but it's not til next week. Problem is, i'm going to be using the car a fair bit this holiday season to go around. Any ideas?

Guys, even if u're reading and have no comment, it's all good.. Merry X'mas and a happy new year. Drive safe

best wishes!

when you say internal lights, this include dashboard cluster light (speedo & tacho), light on roof and doors etc?

also, when you check the fuse, is it burned out already? if yes, just bring it to your local auto shop to get a replacement.

it might not be the fuse that has blown, with my car (crv) i had a similar problem. ,(but just internal lights) the problem was the wire was burnt out half way. could be the same problem? hope it helps but try going to an auto electrician before you let honda rip you off

auto electricians rip you off too... i had to pay $245 for one to run 1m of cable (measley hook up wire) from battery to fuse block...

hello, there

Merry X'mas!!! Really?
ah... not sure how many panels i need to remove on the euro.. JDMs are easier to maintain but with this one i'd rather let honda touch it if it was a wiring problem. It is under extended warranty

hello!!
Merry X'mas!!

I am sorry. By internal lights, i meant the pilot lamps in the front and back seats.

My dash board, heated seats, power windows , auto cruise and etc works fine except the cd unit, display unit and the pilot lights.
hehehe

whoa.. 245 is a rip.. but i got mine done for 50 bux. i guess it just depends where you go. and yes. auto electricians are rip off's aswell but they could still be cheaper than honda.

You havn't stated what year your Euro is. It may be an warranty job. If it is still under warranty get Honda to look at it do not attempt to repair it yourself.

look in the fuse box in ur engine bay its a common thing

you said 'cd track, clock, volume is working? so wat happens? every thing is on but no sound? if thats the case could be faulty headunit. or maybe wires or something have come lose. however if nothings working/turning on all i can think of that might be wrong is, POWER or GROUND
