Replying to: lll3 (Oct 13, 2009 9:04 am) I replaced the one in my son's Accord. The clock bulb is a little tiny black base screwed in the housing. No wiring goes to it. It gets its power from circuit board wiring. It has a tiny slot for small flat blade screwdriver.   You will find it much easier if you have the replacement blub/socket. You do not take any of the housing off.   Joe Replies to this message: bajajoes (Oct 13, 2009 2:07 pm) mrbill1957 (Oct 13, 2009 3:18 pm) bajajoes (Oct 13, 2009 3:39 pm) and 1 more... booog (Oct 15, 2009 5:42 am) jodar96 (Oct 15, 2009 8:57 am) jodar96 (Oct 15, 2009 12:25 pm)

Replying to: jodar96 (Oct 13, 2009 11:33 am) I noticed that the light in my clock gets dimmer when the headlights are turned on.   Seems like it should be the reverse.   Any comment on how to switch this to be brighter at nite?     Replies to this message: mrbill1957 (Oct 13, 2009 3:18 pm) bajajoes (Oct 13, 2009 3:39 pm) elroy5 (Oct 14, 2009 2:29 pm)

Replying to: bajajoes (Oct 13, 2009 2:07 pm) I noticed that the light in my clock gets dimmer when the headlights are turned on.   Sounds like it's working fine to me. They dim the clock assuming it's getting darker inside the car (as well as outside) and you don't want as bright a display as you would when it's daytime.   Mrbill Replies to this message: bajajoes (Oct 13, 2009 3:39 pm) elroy5 (Oct 14, 2009 2:29 pm)

Replying to: mrbill1957 (Oct 13, 2009 3:18 pm) My problem is that its being dimmed so much that it is not readable in a dark car.   If there is a way to stop it from being dimmed when going to night mode that would correct the difficulty I am having reading it.

Replying to: bajajoes (Oct 13, 2009 3:39 pm) Turning the odometer reset button to the right increases the brightness of the dash lights. The only time I find the display is not bright enough is when it's raining during the daytime, and you turn on the headlights, but it's not dark enough inside the car too see the dash lights well (especially if you have sun glasses on). I just deal with it, because the dash lights are too bright at night, if you turn the brightness up too much.

Replying to: jodar96 (Oct 13, 2009 11:33 am) Where did you get the replacement bulb and how much was is? Replies to this message: jodar96 (Oct 15, 2009 8:57 am) jodar96 (Oct 15, 2009 12:25 pm)

Replying to: booog (Oct 15, 2009 5:42 am) I ordered it among other little items from an online Honda dealer when I bought the Accord used in April.   Their price was like $2.30. If you are getting several items like wheel covers, bolts, belts, hoses, or filters, it makes sense to go online. If you just need this bulb, go to your local dealer and pay the extra $ to get it.   Joe

#1911 of 1936 Fuel economy, Odometer Light and tranny Slipping by morphius909 Oct 18, 2009 (10:08 am)
Hi Folks,   Few questions regarding my 2002 Accord/Vtec-4ccyl with 135,000 kms.   1) The fuel economy has gotten very bad. I've had the following serviced in the past 18 months: Plugs, Fluids(All), new Tires, battery.   Any thing else I should consider?   2) The Green Backlight on the Odometer reading LCD died. Is this repairable?   3) Yes the Tranny is a bit rough. SIGH. Slips once ina while or is just super slow. Replies to this message: blufz1 (Oct 19, 2009 9:24 pm) hbund216 (Nov 07, 2009 9:19 pm)

Replying to: morphius909 (Oct 18, 2009 10:08 am) Was the service performed by a Honda Dealership?
