Rep Power: 0

Hello all,

I have been having several issues with my 2001 Honda Civic LX. When I first bought the car, the interior dome lights, both the front and middle one went out. I changed the fuse but it kept blowing so I just left it alone and dealt with having no lights. About 6 months later, my gauges started going haywire going down to 0 and then shooting up to the highest numbers while I was driving. I would turn the car off and back on and the problem would cease for a few days. After awhile the gauges would just stay at 0 and would not work unless I hit the plastic cover over the gauges until they came back on. The problem became more and more frequent. Now, the beeping noise that used to occur when I would leave my keys in the ignition or headlights on doesn't happen anymore. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be super appreciated. Does it sound like these problems are connected are would they all be separate issues?

(Kinda like slapping an old TV to get it to work for a while.)

Well, this sure sounds like it needs a gauge cluster......or maybe try resoldering all the pin terminals on the board where the harnesses connect.


Remove and disconnect the gauge cluster. Now stick a fresh fuse in and see if it blows. If it still blows then the problem isn't caused by the gauges.
