I have a problem with the lights on instrument cluster. I have accord 93 4cyl for 12yrs now. The engine runs great. The lights on instrument panel seem dimmer than when I first bought the car. I set the knob switch to maximum level with no success. while i was driving the car during the week, the lights dimmed much more for few seconds as I press on the brakes at traffic lights. Does anyone know if this problem is related to bulb burning out or alternator is having problem?

| My 1990 honda accord's driver side window wont go up. passenger side is ok. this happened before but only for a few minutes. right now it is all they way down, and wont go up. Anyone know if its possible for me to fix this, and how? or is this something that i will havew to bring it to a shop for. right now i am just hitting the thing hoping that it will fix itself, but no progress so far. any tips will help thanks. | |

Replying to: tjb189 (Dec 28, 2005 11:56 am) with it dark and your lights on, when you activate the window switch, do you see the lights dimming? a slight dimming of the lights would suggest the motor is getting power when the switch is activated but it isn't moving the window. if you don't see dimming, then it's possible the switch has gone bad. to completely diagnose it, i'd probably take it to an independant shop specializing in hondas.

Hello I have a 1990 accord exr and have noticed that if i start the car and take the gear to drive the "S" light keeps on blinking and take off from rest its slow. Upon advice from someone i checked the TCU, the code is 8. i think this is a solenoid problem. Where is the Solenoid and what is the solution? thanks femi

Replying to: femi (Dec 29, 2005 10:56 pm) http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com i looked at everything AT related but couldn't find an image with a "solenoid". maybe it is a part labeled "valve" that has an electrical pigtail. it is something with a plate, and some cylinder looking things attached to it. go to http://www.ebay.com and type in: honda accord shift solenoid there is one on there - this would give you an idea what it looks like. this site has information on diagnostic codes for the TCM http://home.earthlink.net/~michaelpkeefe/HowTo_Codes.htm "8" seems to imply trouble with the Shift Control Solenoid Valve B... googling indicated "B" was the lower of the two. not very helpful huh? googling also turned up a procedure where one person recommended using wd40 to clean the screens of the solenoid. i misplaced that link. sorry.  perhaps a local library for a Helms, Haynes, Chilton service manual for your model year? otherwise an independant specializing in honda repairs.
