Honda Accord Problem
(Repost)
Need some advice: My 91 Accord - Both arrows on my dash board would light up, looking like hazard signal, when I choose either right/left turn signals. I checked outside of car, everything is functional and correct. It looks to only be the instrumentation panel, and could come and go with no pattern. My long beam indicator would also not come on. Any ideas? |

My first thought was that your hazard switch/relay was buggered somehow,
but since the lighting outside the car is correct, and since you have another instrumentation problem, I would probably start by pulling the instrument cluster out and inspecting it or the wiring MPC that plugs in to the back of it. Cluster: bent/corroded pins? If you dig into it a bit, you could also inspect the PCB inside of it looking for cracked traces or other corrosion. MultiPointConnector on wiring: look for corroded contacts, look for any damage to the wires or the sheathing (harness) that holds the wires in a bundle. If you want, email me directly and I'll send you some info on the wiring schematic (Helm) if it's relevant. Arthur P.S. What trim level do you have (DX/LX etc.), is it an auto/manual, 2door or 4door, or wagon?

My long beam indicator would also not come on. It is probably a lost chassis (return) connection which is common to both panel lights. The current for (say) left turn can't get to chassis so it flows up the right turn bulb and into the (not) live side of the right turn lamps wiring. The very much lower resistance of the 21+ watt filaments effectively returns the current to chassis without even barely lighting up.

Hi, if both, the high beam and the indicators are on the same stork,
the stork is definetely the problem. Trust me, I am an auto-electrician. Aussierolf |
