Wait so just make a jumper that connects between the 2 cables ??

thank u very much I been trying to fix this for a very long time.i tried the paper clip n it didn't work...see your video n it work thank you very much

Lmao I was struggling with the fuse cover as well. Glad to see I’m not the only one. Especially somebody as competent as you.

Hey Tyler, I've watched about a dozen of your qjet videos thank you.

Thank you so much I was struggling with this problem for days great video

Great video, Tyler. I did the same thing you did. I plugged the hazard switch in and lost all illumination. Dash, radio ,and climate control. Sounds like I may need to change the muliplex.

This fix worked fine for me. I would suggest cutting both wires and using butt splices to hold the jumper wire and the original wires as well. two in one end and one in the other

Noticed today on my 98 Civic, the dash lights didn't come on. After a few moments however, they did and all seems normal. Have an aftermarket radio. Maybe my multiplex unit is failing. Better get it sorted before a total failure. Thanks for the video.

Fantastic! Thank you! Excellent video- covers it all and no wasted time. Second case was what happened in mine. Nice to know. Even my mechanic didn't. (And he's pretty darn good!)

@@TylersNeighborhoodGarage Update: Went right out and did it. Had a bit of trouble getting the instrument panel out- some sticky rubber thing under it, but got it out enough to get at and disconnect the specified connector, inspected it with a mag glass and instead of stripping wires and stuff, I just made a jumper wire between the two spots. (Insulated wire, trimmed at each end and doubled over and jammed in and it held good: then taped the rest of it to the bundle with elec tape.) Couldn't have done it without your vid! :)

GOOD FIX!! No dash lights drive me crazy!!

Simple knowledge that definitely will carry you along thank you

What did very unusual and unexpected video for my problem. Thanks alot, I hope the "jumper" works

Before you do this tutorial on this Video, Do the following first: 1. Check the #10 fuse located on the passenger side under the dashboard, it is labeled as Small Lights or Plate light. It's the one that holds the lights for the Instruments Cluster, Front Parking Lights, Tail Lights Dashboards lights (AC, Temp Control) and Shifter Lights (for automatic cars). 2. Replace the Fuse with ONLY the same exact type of Fuse, Do not change or replace it with lower or higher type. 3. If everything else are okay but the Instrument cluster lights are still nit working, then you may go ahead and follow this video.

Do you have to make a jumper between the two wires??? I need to know

Hi I have a Honda Civic 1994 my fuzes keep blowing up and my rear lights and break lights won't turn on any suggestions ?

Worked for me thanks for the video...

will this work for my 2002 honda civic ex? the wire harness looks different than mines.

i have an aftermarket radio in my 2005 honda accord like you said. but i was fixing something else an the harnes from the aftermarket harness tpuched and grounded out both of the radios. also there was a few fuses that blew, an i put all new fuses even the one that specifys radio. even my cigarette lighter doesn't work in the glove compartment or where the radio is idk what else to do. can you help an my dash lights an everything work its just my 2 radios that dont work at all.

IT WORKED!! THANKS MAN!!

Does this work on 1998 Honda Odyssey?- I put in a new Radio-it sparked/ shorted out when I turned it on- I did hook up illumination wire- and now i have no tail lights or dash lights- checked all fuses.

did the ac/heater lights stop working?

Your video is still helping people.. thanks now my lights work ..

Worked for me, thank you! What is that gray box behind the fuse called? Some day I may want to properly fix the problem.

Thank you this save me a lot of money

Work like a charm!👍👍

I have a Question,I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey mini van,I put a junkyard stereo in,1) My lights went out speedometer,tail lights,licence plate light is this same problem.Can I keep stero in I got from junk yard , Would I be better getting a Multi plexar at a yard? Thank you.

I have a 2002 Acura TL with this problem I don’t think it’s my cd cause I bought the clip that plugs direct to the harness wat else could I do need help

What is the function/name of the two wires you are jumping? I have a Civic that doesn't have the same colors.

Would this fix tailights not working while lights are on? The running taillights

I was dumb enough to clip my stock radios wire harness out while the car had power for my new stereo.. now the stereo is installed and idk if i have this problem bc of the illumination wire too or what but even my p r n d3 d4 lights are no longer on... idk what to do =(

Would anyone happen to know the applicable wire colors for an 01 Honda CRV? Same issue: new stereo and all dash lights went out..

I have a problem,I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey van,I have no speedometer light,no tail lights,no license plate light.What can it be,I did put another stero in from Odyssey at junkyard.

Were your tail lights also not working along with the other small lights that are on the #10 fuse in the passenger side fuse box?

I have a 1999 Honda like the one in this video. I bought it with A/C and the cooling fans not working. I have replaced fuses, relays, even the controller behind the dash. Nothing has fixed. So what I have done , is found a power source inside the fuse box, and jump wires between the A/C relay and the Cooling fan relays. Now the fans work and the A/C. But I have to remove the jumper, when I park the vehicle less the fans continue to run and kill the battery. Can you help me.

acccord 01 wen i turn on the light the back lights dont work and i trys everything idk wat elee to do some help

Great Video, Thanks Alot

I used this method and after doing so my lights began to work again, but my subwoofer would not kick on?! Now I have no power to the amp. I have checked everything. Did I blow something else?

After doing this will i have to disconnect the aftermarket stereo or can i still have it the way it is

What color is the elimination wire?

If anyone can help, if I do happen to replace the multiplex with correct model part (99 EX sedan) will my 00-02’ clock still be able to work?

Does this issue also cause my tail lights not to work I lost my dash lights and tail lights all at the same time and it keeps blowing fuses the second I turn it on

I have this problem after putting in a aftermarket radio. My tail lights also went out . Brake lights work.. help!!

work for me went i test it,but wen i make the connection it don't work what can i do?

Should I unplug the batery before start ? thanks !

Hello, please help me I did this procedure but it didn't work, my panel is only turning on the rev counter light ...

I have a 1999 Accord that came with an aftermarket radio. And the instrument lights do not work so I assume the stereo's dimmer wire was hooked up to the car's illumination wire and of course blew the multiplexer. Here's my question: If I do this workaround but don't pull the stereo out and disconnect the dimmer wire from the car's illumination wire first, will this workaround cause something else to blow the moment I turn the lights on? I don't have the tool necessary to pull the stereo and I'd really like to avoid the hassle of doing so.

Nope. This is the workaround. Check the simple stuff first like the bulbs, work your way back from there with a multi-meter until you find where power stops.

On a 1994 Accord LX, you have to jump the black wire (left most, in slot1) with the red wire (three slots over in slot4). I figured this out by taking out the dimmer switch and seeing three wires... black, red, and red/black. BTW, the dimmer switch does not have to be connected nor the other two green connectors to the instrument cluster. Only the left most green connector (w/ the black and red wires going into it) needs to be connected into the instrument cluster to test all this.

I have the same problem. I put in an 02 clock and my lights went out. I switched it back to the regular 98 clock and still nothing, what I realized tho was that when I tried back the 02 clock the lights do work when I play with the hazard switch, so idk I'm confused. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Judy Lantaca I wasn't sure either at first, but the multiplexer is essentially a control board that routes power for different things through the same wires in order to reduce the amount of wiring needed. Think of it as the same theory as a telephone switchboard. What happens is one of the electronic components gets damaged when a circuit is grounded accidently or has power where it shouldn't. Foreign car power systems are somewhat different than American.

It's when they hook the Illumination wire from the head unit to the Illumination dimmer of the car... Hook the Illumination wire to Illumination wire, not the dimmer wire on the car. there is the two on the car and only the one from the head unit. The head unit senses when the lights are turned on and does the dimming within. It's usually Orange to orange.

Dunno about the taillights but it gets the dash lights going again provided you DISCONNECT the illumination wire from the new stereo. Those cars use more than one "multiplexer", so if you can't find a bad fuse for the taillights, you may have to break down and replace the multiplexer that runs the taillights. Multiplexer= computer board that controls various electrical functions.
