Well as it stands, i hooked up all my wires from my deck to my cut off harness and still no dash lights, i hooked the red with black stripe to the orange wire and nothing, all my fuses are fine to. what could the problem be??? I have a 2001 accord

 

check your fuses again after you check your wiriring, you might have a wire touching metal somewhere....

 

i checked the wiring and rerided it up, and nothing, no wires touching metal, but i do remember when i first played with it , the lights flicked on then off and then nothing sinse then.

 

check your fuses..replace them all

 

i ran a fuse tester over all of them. they all passed.

 

no lights when the door opens neither.

 

so her's what your telling me. you installed a deck, your lights were working fine prior, after install now they dont. Just because yoou use a fuse tester doesnt mean that the fuse cant be bad....I recomend disconnecting your deck and getting it tested, also see if your lights work after the deck is unistalled..it sounds like something is grounding out causing you to nblow fuses! or what I deduced? but hey it is your car...do you have a amp? sub?

 

ive tried disconecting the deck and trying it, still doesnt work. im going to buy fuses and change everyone i hope it works

 

I'm having the same problem and I was told by many people that the driver's side multiplex control was defective but I went to the dealership and they said there wasn't a recall even though there was. Your best bet it to either order one through the dealership which would cost 115.00 or go to junk yard and get one out of a 98-02 accord for probably 35 to 50 bucks. If anyone has any other ideas let us know.

 

Bump for an answer.

 

small lights fuse most likely, it's under the hood

or you still have a short in the wiring somewhere where you installed your deck

 

the small lights fuse is under the hood on a 2001 accord? what about this multiplex control recall?

 

It was a recall in 2000 because there is a short in the multiplex control so when you turn your headlights on, it kills all of the dash lights. Basically, I am going to a junk yard, purchase one, and see if this will solve the problem because HONDA wouldn't replace it for free.

 

If the recall was for the 2000 model year and yours is a 2001, why would they replace it for free, and do you even know if the "multiplex control" is the problem.
Do your dash lights turn on when you turn on just the park lights, but turn off if you turn on the head lights?.

But I guess you will find out, assuming the one you get from the bone yard is working and it was the problem. 94

 

correct , there is a same year accord that i can test out the multiplex control, how do i take it out?

 

Sorry. I have no idea of how it is removed. 94
