    Hi everyone,

    My 99 Honda Accord dashboard backlight is out!
    I tried to adjust the dimmer switch, I turned both directions, no
    light.
    I checked the fuse boxes. All fuses are OK.
    Do you think this is caused by a bad dimmer switch? or a loosed wire?
    If a bad dimmer switch is the problem, how do I fix it?

    Thanks in advance,

    James

    Were the lights getting dimmer over time or did they just go out without a
    flicker? I would check the applicable fuse again and replace it with a
    neighboring, like fuse, just to be sure. Also, you're aware there are
    fuses and relays under the hood as well as under the dash, right? Good
    luck.

    I double checked and found a blown fuse. I replaced it with a same 15
    amp fuse, but as soon as I turned on the head light switch, it blew
    out. I am sure it must be short circuit somewhere. According to the
    label, the fuse is for license light and some small lights.
