okay so i am having 2 differant problems with this 2000 accord ex i just bought. first off i put a sony explode head unit in and as soon as i put it in my dash lights stopped working and my tail lights dont work. but my break lights and head lights work?

now my transmission problem is the transmission slips. but only for the first like 2 mins i drive it. after that there are no problems at all? i took it on long trips and everything and had no problems at all its just when i first drive it. and it seems to be leaking tranny fluid but i cant find out where its coming from?

 

Did you check for blown fuses? I Think it's the small light fuse, but I don't remember.

You may need a new tranny. My 3rd auto tranny did the same thing on my 94. it would slip when it was cold, and drive fine while it's warm, then it was slipping all the time.I got sick of auto trannys and did the 5 speed swap.

 

Why in the world would you buy a car with a slipping transmission?

 

i checked all the fuses and that didnt help..
and i got it with a slipping tranny cause my dad picked it up for me it was suppose to be a 2000 civic ex and he pulled in the drive way with a accord ex. and i knew it had a slipping tanny but i have a full ls turbo swap sitting in the garage so im tryin to sell this to buy a shell and if i fix it i should be able to get atleast 3 for it

 

Double check the wiring for the stereo. Sounds like a wire got shorted.

 

okay ill check that tomorrow.. i heard two differant things it could be but i am really confused about it. i heard it could be the multiplex? or something to do with the security ? someone said pull the security fuse.. but there is no fuse for that or anything to do with it?

 

you didnt check all the fuses because i guarantee its small lights fuse under hood and you have grounded out the illumination wire in the radio harness which has caused it

 

Most likely it is this

It could also be a bad dimmer switch (as seen by some other users)

 

agreed it could be but the fact the taillights dont work and also the fresh radio install lead me to believe it is the fuse or possibly both

 

ur trans is most likely leaking from the axle seals. that's because the differential bearing took a **** on you. now the internal filter is clogged and reduced fluid flow = slipping trans as the clutch packs detonate. I would go straight to honda for the trans and that will cost you at least $1500 to 2800 just for the trans plus $500 for R&R if you do not do it yourself.

Head unit = u messed up wirth the wiring.....

 

Time for a new trans
