dashboard lights? - Honda Prelude Forum

KB798 · 07-23-2003, 02:52 PM

i have a '94 si. i was wondering if i have burnt out lights...

1)on the left side of the steering wheel, are the roof, cruise, and dim switch lights supposed to come on?

2)on the driver's side window button, is the auto marking supposed to be lit up?

3)by the ac controls, is the temperature sliding button light supposed to come on? as well as the red/blue marking

4)is the fan speed, both button and dot markings supposed to be lit up as well?

i did a search...couldn't find an answer. i tried looking for night pics of 4th gen dashes, but failed to find that as well.

thanks in advance

the answer to all of your questions is:

Yes.

Basically, when you turn your headlights on, NO lights other than your Speedo/Tach/Gas/Temp/Clock come on??

Check ur fuses

cruise comes on occassionaly, and the row of buttons above the temperature all come on.

Hmm my cruise, sunroof, and dim switch have never come on, and all of my fuses work perfect../shrug

Yeah my cruise doesn't light up as well, everything else does.

:shurgs:

the bulbs just go out, they should ALL light up.. every button on your car.

yeah i got that problem too....my cruise light just comes on whenevern it wants and it' bugs the living crap out of me!!! why can't it just turn on when i push it in!!

willmbrk · 07-23-2003, 08:45 PM

Thats nice to know, now I just need to find out where to get bulbs, and blue would be cool

prelude styl · 07-23-2003, 10:28 PM

You can get the bulbs from honda, but the little plastic sleeves you put over them to make them green, are unavailable from Honda apparently... last I checked (uh, 3 years ago). To make them blue you'd just put a blue tint on them, or go the all famous Blue LED conversion.

I found out that my "Cruise" lights up but not the other 2. There is an electric supply warehouse by my house, and I am going to check with them. That place sells all sorts of LEDs

i had tthis sorta problem with my 92 i would just bang the dash a little and they'd pop on....sometimes

KB798 · 07-24-2003, 12:18 PM

where is the fuse relay box to check the fuses?

prelude styl · 07-24-2003, 04:36 PM

There's one right by the dead pedal under the dash, and there's one in the upper left corner of the engine bay.

The only light on the cruise that should light up is the green indicating when its active....nothing else should light light up unless the parking or driven lights are on.

prelude styl · 07-30-2003, 01:09 PM

yeah that's what they mean.. when you turn on the parking/headlights all the buttons should illuminate, and they're saying that theirs don't.

I replaced all the lights in my heater control .. theres 3 i beleive, i dindt want ot buy dealership lights so bought some 12v radio shack ones and soldered them to the connect opints. When you push one of the buttons on the control it lights green to show its selected, you can see every botton lit up in the same shade as the speedo gauge at night... however, to the left of my steering wheel my cruise/sunroof/dimmer dont light up at all nor do my power windows/locks. :|

I haven't done my radio shack mod to them yet but the power windows.. thats new to me....

bk94si · 07-31-2003, 12:37 PM

I got the ones from the dealer. Be prepared, they are kind of expensive and it sounds like you need a lot of them.

blacklude4k · 07-31-2003, 05:00 PM

i never knew those lights to the left of the steering wheel were supposed to come on

yohan420 · 08-01-2003, 07:47 AM

we all missed out getting our cars new

I wonder what else im missing .....

SolRayz · 11-07-2003, 12:41 PM

Just wanted to add this on to this old thread for future readers..........the hazard warning light in the center console for 95-96 4th gens lights up. Bulb has a green base instead of a blue base like the dashboard ones. Costs about $3.80 from honda and is pretty impossible to find anywhere else!
