Excellent video mate. Worked a treat. Used a simple bit of thin electrical
wire. Saved me alot of repair money. THANKS!!!!!!
Mitch, Thank you for sharing this video. After a quick desoldering of the
failed fuse I used a thick trace of solder across the points making sure to
let the heat fuse the solder to the points. It looks clean and is much
easier than soldering a wire into the tight spot. I put the radio back in
and all is good. One thing to note if a person holds the CD button on the
head unit it will turn the backlight off only on the head unit. 5-10 second
hold of CD will turn it back on. Thanks again!
THANK YOU! You just made me look like a stud because I fixed my wife’s
car!
thanks man worked perfectly
would this fix the backlight for the screen and the backlight for the
buttons as well…let me knoww
anybody in TAMPA, FL. i can do the work for you if your radio is like this.
Great video. At 170k miles, the radio light went in my 04 accord. Following
you excellent tutorial, I was able to bridge the fuse with a piece of wire.
Seems like Ed Dylke (below post) did it the right way, getting the fuse
replaced. but for all the longer I plan on keeping it, bridging worked just
fine. Thanks for taking the time to publish this. Saved me a bundle.
Great Video – Takes More time Getting it Out of the Car than the actual
bridging and fixing – Took two Electricians to get it out of the car
haha…
anyone out there willing to do this for a fair price, I will not dare
attempt to do this myself
I have 2006 but mines flickers…radio works n everything. .would this work
for mines?
where exactly do I solder the wire to? it doesn’t look very specific and id
like to be sure before we attempt this ourselves..
Welp, I guess I will take mine to a repair shop. I ain’t got time for this
LOL. Great info tho
hello, my honda accord 2004 have a different radio I do not see this
resistor, could you help me? I can send you a photo, thanks
Very good video. I could not find tools to remove the assembly around the
radio so had a car audio shop remove for me ($20). I then used your
excellent video to disassemble the radio. Just a point, the failed piece is
definitely not a resistor. It is a 2.3 amp fuse. I took the circuit board
to an electronic music repair shop. They confirmed that the circuit was
open at the fuse indicating it had failed. They installed a new 3.0 amp
fuse for me soldering it in professionally. I have now reassembled the
radio and plan to place back in the car tomorrow.
Thanks but can I pay you to do the fix for me?!
i don’t have that resistor on mine?
hey mitch so my display where it says cd and channels works fine its the
buttons tht dont light up would this fix it or should i be bridging another
transistor ? reply asap please tired of driving in the dark :(
Thank you for your reply and the video, it was fantastic help and my lights
are all working now! Thank you!!
I tried this on my 04 Acura TSX, but it did not fix the lights on the HVAC
controls. I removed the resistor/fuse, then bridged the connection with a
blob of solder.
thanks for the video, really helpful!! I did everything, and worked
perfect! but when i started the car, the light turned off again!! btw, i
used the circuit pen, and I’m sure i left it for a day to heal,, any ideas
plz?
great job on the instructions, fix took about 2 hours and a 1″ pc. of wire.
All the lights now work including the button nights
Thanks for the help
thanks, resolve my problem!
Did you actually cut out the blown fuse on the board? This is happening to
my vehicle but wasn’t sure if you left it on there or actually cut it out.
Please share and let me know. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. It was a great help. Although I do not believe that
to be resistor. Although the board is labeled for a resistor, the part
actually on the board looks to be a fuse (rated at 2.5 amps). Resistors are
not expressed in amp but rather ohms. That would explain why a jumper fixes
the problem and there’s no 2.5 ohm resistor.
Hi Mitch, nice video! Have you ever determined is this was a resistor
(measured on ohms) or a fuse (rated in amps). Seems unlikely to be a fuse,
as its not very user replaceable. If it is a resistor, then the value is
measured in ohms and rated in watts for current carrying capacity. Would
be nice to replace with a factory original spec device if possible. In any
case, how long has yours worked using the hardwire approach? Thxs!!
I have Honda Accord 2003. Radio is turning on and off. Sometimes continues
to work when car is off and key out of ignition. My display light is off
and I wonder if you know if a replacement of a fuse will solve the problem?
Thank you
Great video…. very help full…… i tried and it was successful
I took a piece of wire and soldered one end to each side of the bad
resistor. This bridges the circuit. It is explained and shown in the
video. Thanks.
dude this workt and now my a/c lights work to and the numbers to
