Factory Head Unit won't illuminate.
I bought a 97' Civic Ex a few months ago and since purchase I haven't had illumination from my radio, or my climate control interface. I figured the climate is just bulbs, but im lost with the radio. Is there anything I can do to fix it, or do I have to find another factory replacement?

Re: Factory Head Unit won't illuminate.
Climate control might be separate bulbs, I know the AC, recirc, and rear defrost back lighting is. For the head unit check for butchered wiring, someone may have had an aftermarket deck in there and put the stock back in when they sold it. For how cheap and easy it is to upgrade the deck that is what I would do. Then you gain Bluetooth, aux, usb, etc.
