Ask Me Help Desk - 2000 Honda Accord dash lights

I have the same problem with my Honda. Were do I go to get the part Multiplexer? Thanks anything will help.

Can anyone take multiplex picture please because I don't know which one under the dash has a lot of stuff. My honda 98 has the problem the same all off u thank u give good answer for us.

I am having the same problem with my 98 Honda Accord. Is the multiplex the blue box right beside the fuse panel on drivers side? Should I disconnect the radio before installing a new multiplex. Where can you get this besides Honda?

If u want to buy it you can check on this web

PAM's Auto, Inc. - Elec Chas Cntrl Mod : ACCORD 98-99 Multiplex Network; passenger multiplex (right fuse box), EX

Or on eBay but I think only one company I checked already.

But I don't know how to change it too. If you want to change by yourself you can send mail to me I have some document show you how to change it.

Thanks for your help. We found one in a junk yard. Only cost $40 and it fixed the problem. It was a nuisance to get pry out but glad we have dash lights now. For anyone else that experiences the same problems. CHECK SALVAGE YARDS FIRST!!

Let me start by saying 6th generation LX accords have a recall on the drivers side mutiplex unit. The lights for the gauge cluster is effected by a defective mutiplex unit. The lights for the radio and air controls I do not believe are affected by the drivers side mutiplex unit, at least mine are not.

What I do know is that my climate control lights were constantly burning out and I kept replacing them. The first time I replaced mine the smaller bulb on the climate control unit was burned out, honda gave me a bulb that fit but didn't look the same, the guy said it was the same 'it just looks different now'. Don't listen to those guys. For two years I was constantly burning out and replacing bulbs. Finally I decided to change all the bulbs. And of course this time that tiny bulb that looks different than the rest again didn't look like the first bulb they had given me, but I believed looked more like the original burned out bulb. I replaced all the bulbs for like 35 or 40 bucks 1 year ago and I haven't had a single bulb burn out since.

My driver side mutiplex unit needs to be replaced but I can't see spending 100 bucks on a new one and I won't buy a salvaged one because it may have the same issue.

When u install multiplex don't have problem right?
Can u link web side for me please? My car multiplex burn too.
Thank

Honda issued a Technical Service Bulletin for this issue. It is not a fuse. See Honda TSB 04-027. The repair is covered under extended warranty and is handled by a repair technician.

So the honda 2000 ex v6 is not included in the transportation safety bulletin and it should. I did file a complaint and hope others will.
This is obviously a safety hazard and a manufacturing defect.

So my question is do you need to pull the wires from the front and back of the fuse panel to get to the multiplexor. It is a bear to get to.

Where is the multiplexer on the driver side? Picture?

Thanks

PS: I just trying to install different year hazard light/clock. And it messed up my gauge lighting.

Dude I got my radio put in the other day and now my dashboard light do not work at all. Everything else work but those light. But my illumination wire isn't hooped up to any thing.. what I can do to fix it... help

I have the same issue with my 98 Accord Coupe V6 EX. I thought it might be an issue with the ignition but now Im thinking of checking the multiplexer. Is tyhere anyway to test this unti to ensure that is the root cause of my odometer and clock lights not lighting up? Thanks!

Honda has a recall on the multiplex control unit. Call Honda at 1-800-999-1009 to see if your VIN # is part of the recall. Recall # is 04V256000
