    Instrument panel lights in my 2000 Honda Accord ex V6 don't work sometimes
    I've read posts concerning the instrument panel lights in some 2000 Honda Accords not working properly due to a faulty multiplex unit, improper installation of aftermarket radios, and/or bad wiring/connections, and so on. However, I have not come across a single post that might explain why my instrument panel lights don't work when the exterior air temperature is cold (i.e. below 50 degrees F).

    I noticed this problem a couple of weeks ago when it was a relatively cold night, but did not put two and two together until today (at 4pm it's around 65 degrees, and the instrument panel lights work fine now, but I don't need them during the day! ). The headlights work fine, as do the taillights, and radio. Also, the backup lights are working, which, as far as I know, are on the same circuit as the instrument panel lights. I may be missing something here but I've found, and consistently so, that the instrument panel lights do not work in cold weather. Is there a good reason for this? If so, a relatively inexpensive fix?

    Thank you!
