Dash light doesn't work

I have a used 1992 honda civic that i recently bought. the dash worked fine, but the after market radio had a problem of sometimes working but sometimes not. one of the times it did, so i had to wiggle and push it in.(i do not have a cage to just slide and pop the radio in). i must have pushed too hard one of the times trying to put the radio back in place because the dash light went out. what do i do? all lights except the main background light works. (trying to fix it myself)

Check fuses for dash light / instrument display. If the fuse is good, you may want to check if stereo share an illumination wire with dash. You may have broken the connection behind stereo.

SOURCE: 1991 honda civic brake light stays on need to push brake pedal to

Sounds like you might have a caliper that is stuck and is not fully disengaging. If it is in the rear then you may have a bad rear caliper. Twoo things you can try. One is to crawl under the ca and adjust the tension two nuts on the emergency brake line. If that does not resolve the problem then remove the back tire and try to spin the drum or rotor whichever you may have. If it does not spin then try adjusting the e brake cable more if it still does not respond then you need to do a brake rebuild. Also does it pull while it is dragging? If it is then you will need to rebuild the brakes no matter what.

SOURCE: 2004 Honda Odyssey D Light Does Not Work, But Maintence Required

D problem is simply a lightbulb out on the cluster board.
Simple to remove the cluster and replace the bulb.

The Service Required light can be reset by
1) Turn they key to the II position

2) Turn the key to the off position, and push and hold in the odometer reset button

3) Turn they key back to the II position, while still holding the button.

4) After about 10-15 seconds, the light should go off.

SOURCE: anti theft light blinking on stock radio in 92 honda accord

You must go through your local honda dealer, (usually parts department) give them the numbers off the labels on the radio, along with the VIN number of the car. may have to prove ownership. They can call Honda and get that information for you. Process is alot easier if you someone that works in the parts department, if not the honda parts department, then another parts department at another car dealer.

1991 honda civic turn signal problem

I can't recall as its been a while since I've worked on the older Civics, but there may be 2 bulbs in the cluster. They are not that hard to pop out and have a look.

No dash lights or tail lights on my 1994 honda accord ex

I have right now the same problem. I just pulled the fancy/shmancy radio head out of my (Honda) 1992 Acura Integra and the whole dash is now a mess. It had been professionally installed. The dome light now doesn't work, the "door open" warning lights stay on, the clock is messed up, etc.
I installed the fancy head in another car, in a 1992 Honda Civic. That works perfectly. Sounds like you need to find a professional installer to re-do your new head.
I think the dash lights and the taillights are on the same circuit/fuse.

1992 Honda Civic Radio has only static

if the tape player works fine and no static u most likely have a problem with your ground,check to see if your radio is getting good ground and also check the antenna unscrew the two bolts on top of the car and carefully pull the antenna upwards and check the wire connected to a piece of metal where the screw goes (if good) add another ground to your radio.

New radio installed - now dash lights don't work

Most factory stereos are wired to the dash dimmer switch. Usually if the dash lights go out after an after market stereo installation, it is because the wire that originally went to the factory stereo is not used for after market stereos. Double check the fuses and ensure the wire that controlled the lights on the factory stereo is not grounding out on something.

92 honda civic vx keeps blowing taillight fuses.

I found out some of the wiring had grounded out and burnt. I took up the carpet in the door jam and found where the wires had touched and shorted out. i traced each individual wire that had burnt and replaced it with new wire. So far so good.
