Daigogreen Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hi all, new to this forum and I have a problem with my 96 Civic that I'm hoping someone can offer some assistance. The light on my dash that displays the temp, fan speed, etc doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know what I need to remove to get to the lightbulb(s)? I'm hoping it's something that simple and not a wiring issue. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Are you saying it doesn't light up or the needle doesn't move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check fuses first, if they are all straight move on to an auto parts store to get new bulbs. You can ask them about the size and install or you can consult you're car manual. If you want, you could pick up one of those big thick service manuals to get detailed instructions and illustrations on what to do. You might see if you could adjust the brightness on you're dash. There's a little rotating knob near where you engage cruise control to the left of the steering wheel, once you change out the bulb (which I really would recommend you change them all while you're in there) turn down the brightness so the bulbs will last longer.

Daigogreen Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hey thanks for the input, guys. I think it's a burnt bulb, so my question is, how do I remove the bezel from the dashboard (where the radio and temp control are)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Take the screws out of the black surround. Pull it off. Remove 4 screws holding cluster in. No clue from there. Just take the cluster apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLontheDL Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 i don't have a civic so I can't give you step by step instructions but i am pretty sure there are at least 2 screws besides the steering wheel that you'll need to remove to take out the gauge cluster. Once you take out all of the necessary screws, take out the cluster at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96IntegraLS Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 After you take out the cluster, I would unplug it to make it easier to work with. After that, you just turn the part that holds the bulb and it will come out. Then it is simply a matter of getting the bulb out and replacing it.
