CRX mystery wires.
1988 CRX DX. Took the Heat/AC control/switch block out of the dash
today. Noticed something odd. Sticking out of the side about halfway back (driver's side as installed) are two black wires. There is a factory notch in the cover to allow this, yet the wires are cut off. They are both factory soldered to the circuit board inside. Apparenly this was meant to be but what are they for and why aren't they in the harness like everything else? This part may have been swapped in from another model Civic/CRX (?) if that means anything...but I'm not 100% certain. Thanks! KL |

Thanks! > > KL > they're for the lamp that lights the heater control dial. most people, after breaking the front bezel trying to remove the control panel from the front, then proceed to break off those two wires separating the heater control to disconnect the control cables. if your control panel is not broken, you can try re-soldering the wires. otherwise, i suggest you invest in a new control panel from hondaautomotiveparts.com and learn how to fit it FROM BEHIND and not break anything. don't forget to remove and replace the mounting bracket underneath the radio mount. forget ebay or craigslist or junkyards. these things are almost /NEVER/ unbroken, even when the vehicle's been serviced by honda dealers. by new and save the brain damage - it's under $300 iirc. |
