what are the "other" lites that don't work? Have you checked the fuse panels?

the instrument cluster and the climate controls and everything else but the clock and the cd player. i doubt its a fuse because sometimes when i turn on the car and flip the headlights on they wont work, but when i let it sit for a bit then try it again they eventually turn on. they would kinda flicker dim and bright the past few days.
i have no idea

It sounds like your multiplexer is shot. Should be on the drivers side attached to your fuse box. I have an 02 accord, and it was the EXACT SAME PROBLEM you were having. The multiplexer is Blue on my fuse box. I'll post pics later.
