That is an easy fix, it is one of two issues.
(1) Check the fuse for the dash lights. If the fuse is ok , it will be (2) burnt out bulbs. For #2 - you have to remove the bezel surrounding the dash cluster. Then look to see if the bulbs are good or have burnt out. The new bulbs are available at almost any auto parts store.
Same for both doors? If not, I'd check the switch(s) on the drivers door (may be more than one), or may be just one that has multiple contacts and the ones for the lights may be faulty.
Hello! It's unusual to lose just the instrument panel illumination and nothing else...Check the IPC/DIC Fuse (10A) in the under hood fuse box...If it is OK...The +5 volt reference supply from the Body Control Module which supplies the instrument illumination is suspect...It can easily be checked at the Headlamp Switch Dimming Control...Pry the switch out using a thin blade screw driver...Wrap a piece of tape over the tip...The three wires you are interested in are Gray...Gray/Black And Orange/Black on the dimmer switch...Set a voltmeter to read 5 volts...Clip the (+) probe on the Orange/Black wire and the (-) probe on the Gray/Black...Turn on the key...You should read around 2.5 volts (depending on the dimmer position)...Rotate the dimmer control and the voltage should rise to 4.5 volts at max...If you read 0 volts move the (+) probe to the Gray wire...You should read +5 volts...If there is +5 on the Gray and 0 on the Orange/Black the Dimmer Switch is defective and is the cause of the fault...Record readings and send a comment...I'll take it from there....Guru....Saailer
This will not be the switch itself it will be the blower motor resistor itself.These vehicles have had a notorious tsb for these resistors doing this.This resistor is located right next to the blower motor on the evaporator box.It's on the pass front side right below the dash.I hope I could help...rate me accordingly
use a testlight turn on the LS light ground the test light touch the pin inside the lamp socket if it lights look for a bad ground if it does not check your fuses or, run a new power wire under your truck secured with zip ties from the switch
possibility of a dimmer switch malfunction, did you check all the fuses under the dash and also under the hood. check thuroughly because you might have missed one.
And where your dimmer switch is, us a stanely knife on the corner and it should pop out.. peice of cake, the dimmer has 2 wires in it so you can take a volts tester to see if it gets current when your head lights are on. Alos if it is getting current only on 1 side you can bypass it for another test by just running a wire from both points.
Does your other dash peices light up like your ac controlls and your clock?
if so it might be part of the dash cluster has just burnt out, bulb wise and 3-4 screws around the cluster and it pulls out also. All hondas are like legos and they come apart Very simpley.
If it isnt either of those, then you might have a bad MFS witch is shot for multi function switch and it is the lever that controlls your lights. Its expensive to replace though and is a hastle to remove from the steering coloum to test.
Get yourself a volts, oms tester and check the dimmer switch 1st.
if thats alright then test with the wire.
if thats alright then check the back lights behind your cluster for burtn out bulbs,
and if all that looks good your down to the fuses might just look good, and the MFS
