interior lighting problems - Honda Prelude Forum

jimbo24 · 11-26-2008, 02:27 PM

i'm having trouble with the lights on my cruise/roof/dimmer switches. they do not light up and i've switched the bulbs around, assuming that they all can't be bad bulbs at once, but still nothing. i looked into the fuse box under the driver side but i'm not sure what fuse should i be looking at. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

I wouldn't rule out the fact that they could all be blown bulbs. Those things go out fairly often. I had to replace my cruise control green bulb right when I bought the car and I had no idea the sunroof switch even lit up ever because that bulb was always out too

hmm... thanks for the reply. any idea where i can purchase replacement bulbs?

you could always do to the local garage, they always have new and old bulbs of all sizes.. you could also grab a fuse easily, thats wht i did when my digital clock started not to appear

update: last night while i was driving, i saw that my dimmer backlight is now functioning, hopefully ruling out damaged fuses although the sunroof switch didn't light up which was a bit confusing because that bulb was also moved around.

which fuse should i check to make sure anyway?

thanks for your help

anyone else know what fuse i should check?

these little lightbulbs dont have individual fuses. they would be on the same fuse as the circuit that's controlled by that switch. just replace the little bulb.
