Does anyone know how to replace the light bulb behind the dashboard? The one behind behind the different venting modes fail but I don't know how to get behind and replace it..

thx in advance

 

no one know??

 

hey. Im not sure where to get the bulb. probably honda dealer will have to order it for you.

To get to it is a pain in the ass. You have to:

1. remove lower steeringwheel cover (3 phillips head)
2. remove 2 nuts that hold the steering column up nearest the steering wheel (12mm)
3. loosen the 2 nuts right above the foot vent (12mm) about half way
4. Remove the to caps on the Cluster hood and remove 2 phillips screws
5. pull down steering wheel. remove the upper column cover.
6. while steeringwheel and column are down, pull out the entire dash bezel (held by clips only). use a taped flat screwdriver or fingernails and work your way out. manuver it around the column and signal/wiper stalks.
7. while doing this, you have to reach behind and disconnect stuff as you go along. the starter button, radio controls, hvac controls, crusie control, defroster, all have a plug.
8. remove the 3 phillips screws that hold the HVAC controls in the bezel. remove HVAC unit.
9. locate which bulb is out (should be one of the white bases IIRC. looks kinda like a button with a slit in it). To remove the bulb, use a small flathead screwdriver and turn the base 1/4 turn counterclockwise and pull it straight out.

have fun!

 

^ just had to do the same thing. I was finished in about an hour. You can get around all of the wiring harness, just take your time and move yourself around a bit to reach all of the bolts. Enjoy.
