Okay anyone who owns/ed an ek must know about this.

So the lights on the cc don't turn on usually I would do the ole tap at the bottom the cc and they go on. But I just recently bought a hatch the cc lights dont turn on at all no matter how hard I bang lol. Frankly it's really buggin me that they won't turn on and it's driving me crazy!

Well I do get power to the light sockets and the bulbs are good. So my theory is that the sockets are giving a weak to no connection.

My question is is there a DIY on fixing this or maybe get a new connector from honda? I'm not tryin ghetto rig it either unless there's no choice lol any suggestions would help

Thanx!

 

Anyone?

 

Do the cluster lights work?

 

Yezzzir. Sometimes the cc lights up but a little tap would turn them off. I know it the socket. I'm thinking just replacing that bulb socket for a different type but same size bulb. I wanna get it working before I buy LEDs so I know what type to get

 

Very common problem for 96-98... my 97 hx you could hit the dash and they would work but now that doesn't even work anymore. I remember someone on here swapped theirs out for another unit which worked. It's a short or something inside because sometimes mine will light up one side but not the other.

 

First step is to check whether the heater control panel gets voltage:

1) Dust off your multimeter.
2) Unplug the 14P connector at the rear of the heater control panel.



3) Check whether the Red/Blk wire terminal in the connector has battery voltage to body ground.
