   Dash illumination in 1990 Honda Civic SR   
   04 Jul 23 09:52:50   
   
   Hi,   
      
   Dashboard illumination in my 1990 Honda Civic Si 2-door hatchback has   
   failed.   
      
   The transmission range indicator still works; "2", "D3", "D4" and etc.   
   appear in green. Speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge & etc. are dark.   
      
   The Honda Civic 1984 thru 1991 Haynes Repair Manual, page 12-17 shows   
   "Dash Light Brightness Controller" and one bulb symbol annotated   
   "Gauge Illumination (3.4W X 1.4W X3) ... Cigarette Lighter Illumination   
   (1.4W)".   
      
   Appears multiple bulbs are involved.  They wouldn't all fail   
   simultaneously. The failure is probably in the brightness control?   
      
   I haven't found instructions to reach the back of the brightness   
   control and the bulbs.  Is removal of the instrument cluster   
   necessary?  Can the bulbs be replaced without removing the instrument   
   cluster?   
      
   Thanks,                                 ... P.
