I've heard this has been discussed on here before and I apologize if its been overdone, my head light ****/switch/whatever you want to call it has a point just after the headlights turn on where the headlights stay on but the running lights and interior lights go off, sometimes though it works and I can turn it all the way and both lights work fine till I put on my left turn signal then they all go out, I just want to know if there is a solution short of throwing in a new console?

 

Most likely the combo switch is bad. Only way to correct that is to replace it.

 

had the same problem..all I did was replaced the switch. Everything worked fine afterwards. Try it

 

ok that makes sense, but when it comes to dash electronics I'll admit I'm not a champ so how much, is this an autozone/checker/pepboys kinda part or OEM honda is a must, and if you don't mind in more words or less if you could explain how the install goes that'd be great, thanks a lot

 

well..all I know is I got screwed by some Indian guy...told me I had to get a new one from Honda, which is good if you dont mind spending about 250 bucks just for a switch. But you can go find one at the yunkyard. As far as the installation, I didn't do it myself, so I don't really know, but im pretty sure is not so hard if you use one of those manuals.

 

thats a good idea going to the junk yard, and yeah I figured its prob in chiltons or mitchell on demand, and I think I got a source for one of those switches so I should be fine, I hope that one doesn't go bad, thanks again

 

I have an extra combo switch lying around I'll sell you cheap.... two things though:

1. the automatic turn signal return no longer works, you have to manually turn your turn signals off.

2. it's from a civic STD so there is no rear wiper control on it, but i think you can seperate the wiper control half from the signal / headlight half and use your wiper control. I'll double check that if you want.

replacing it's easy, pull the sterring wheel (one nut under the "H" emblem), then 2 philips screws and the whole assembly comes off.

 

I might take you up on that but I'm going to phoenix today and I might stop by the infamous Honda-Acura Salvage, the home of HASport
