| Interior Lighting problems |
2005 Honda Accord: interior lights (roof, radio;click, auto transmission backlighting) do not work intermittently. More often than not, the lights are all out.
The audio unit display lights go dim 1-2 minutes after the headlights are turned on. The radio dials and hvac control switches also go completely out. The only light on in the area is the small green light showing which hvac button has been selected. The instrument panel lights do light up and are controllable with the dimmer switch. I have checked the fuses; none were blown. I can cope with the problem by turning on the interior overhead light to see the controls. Just very inconvenientand creating a unsafe condition. This is a problem with earlier model years (2003-2004) of this model run. In 2007 Honda issued a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty extension letter for these years. There is also a service bulletin for these repairs. Perhaps Honda should havne extended this warranty extension to include the 2005 models.
Dt: just purchased 2005 Honda. The illumination of the panel of the heating and cooling control panels are not bright enough. It is very poorly lighted.
