AC Panel LED Lights out on Honda Accord 2000.
This morning noticed that all the LED lights were out (A/C lights /
Defrost light / Air flow control to top/bottom recirculation all off). Only blower fan works. I do not have wiring diagram. Where could the fuse for this panel be located? Or what would I need to start looking at? Thanks in advance. |

AC Panel LED Lights out on Honda Accord 2000.
I have 1998 V-6, same car +/-. 'Bulbs' as I remember (damnable Honda
bulbs...don't get me started!), not sure, as I replaced them all on purpose during a stereo/wood trim kit install in mine. Either way, LED's generally do not fail/blow , and definitely not all at once unless that circuit gets a good surge. And the circuit/fuse that runs power to that panel's illumination has a lot more on its grid. That is, AFAIK, if the fuse for this were actually blown, you'd notice a lot more lights (etc) not coming on or working properly. Just my flashback. Beamer and Tigger will slap me silly where I may be wrong...and they may actually be right 8^) "Thank you sir, may I have another?" - -The Man - Keeping folks down for 1000 Years. |
