the climate control lights on my 92prelude intermitenly come on and off when driving theres 2 plugs underneath the climate control i tried wigling the plugs but nothing happend...what could be the problem?

 

its the prelude curse lol. no, iirc the "peanut" bulbs are wired up in series not paralell circuits, so if one is not making a good connection, all will go out. check to make sure they are twisted tight and not loose.

 

mine went out for a brief time yesterday. a quick jab to the dash turned them right back on. Good ol' hondas!

 

This problem occurs often with the climate control for preludes, you'll have to replace the LED bulbs and sometimes resolder a few points to make them work again.

 

same thing happens to me, at least it wont cause it to burst into flames like a vw.

 

is this a common problem?

 

do i have to remove the climate control unit to get to the bulbs or can i get to them from underneath?

 

Its common.. the fix in this thread worked for me:

You have to pull the unit out of the dash so you can open it up and get to the board with the bulbs on it. I didnt have any bad bulbs, just bad solder connections. There's pictures around here somewhere.

 

So I took the climate control unit out and I only saw 1 bulb right in the center of the unit I took it out and put it back and the lights work again

 

I've got the same problem in my 04 Accord EXV6 sedan w/86k miles. Also, audio system(OEM) lights don't work. Fuses don't seem to be the issue. Radio and climate controls work. It's just that the switches and the screen/clock do not illuminate. Dash lights work. Hazard switch light works. Seat heater lights work. Trans indicator lights work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

 

I suggest the Accord forum. With that being said your audio and climate control lights are powered by the same 22 pin connector. If you are sure the fuse is ok then you will need to do some basic electrical trouble shooting. GL

 

My a/c control head lights go out too, but im also having a problem with it switching over from floor vent to top vents and back. Could it be a motor or is the problem still in the control head with my light problem? Any ideas. thanks

 

Just pull the climate control off and resolder the main terminal contacts to the pcb board.

 

Thanks Nemesis....ill give it a try

 

dlude, i have the same problem with switching from floor to top vents. like the guy said above, a quick jab to the dash usually does the trick. lol i also have the same problem with dash lights going in and out.
