    My 2003 honda accord ex has had an ongoing problem of the accessory lights going out that control the radio and hvac controls. It is actually a transistor on the printed circuit board blowing that controls the consoles lighting. Honda knows about the issue and has put out an extended warranty about this for 7 years or 105,000 miles, whichever comes first. If the warranty is out, the cost to fix it through the…

    The lcd on the console which controls the radio and air temperature, just blew out, this afternoon. We cannot see anything on there. I just researched the problem online and see that this is a common recurring problem. The fix is to replace the whole radio system which costs around $ 500 plus. I do believe this is honda's responsibility. I do not expect something like the lcd screen to blow out in just a little…

    The backlighting on the center console went out. No fuses were blown. Radio and a/c are operation but you cannot see the status. You cannot control the heat or the defroster. Without knowing the status of this equipment, an accident is almost assured..fogged front window. *nm

    This problem has been occurring intermittently for 2.5 years, has never manifested itself while at the dealer. It all started with the yellow traction control triangle lighting up, right after we bought the car. No symptoms, just solid non-blinking light on dash. Dealer had no solution. The problem got worse when my wife noticed that the car's transmission seemed to "bog down". I never experienced it, just my wife.…

    Problem statement: 2003 honda accord console control lighting and stereo background lighting has failed. Why is this a problem: during night time driving you cannot see the controls to make adjustments and therefore have to turn on the overhead lighting to make any adjustments to the fan, temperature, change air flow position etc, or adjust the stereo. This is an error precursor to having an accident as it distracts…
