My new 2000 Honda Civic is a theft recovery and the radio doesn't work. The dash lights are also inactive, and I think that has to do with the theft mode that the vehicle is in. I know that if I take it to a Honda dealer they will give me the code to reactivate the radio, but will the dash lighting come back as well? I figured that the unlit dash was part of theft mode... is this true?

Try the 92-00 Civic Forum you might get better results, And also word it better its hard to understand what you are trying to ask..

afaik, dash lights have nothing to do with the radio code. does the radio display "code"? i assume you have checked fuses?

GJWilliamson

yes the radio says "code error"

and yes the fuses are fine, but the dash is still not backlit. The warning lights, blinker lights, hi-beam indicator and the gears are backlit on the dash, but not the gauges. Same with the air conditioner controls.
