Default Dash board light out

The lighting for the Volume Control, Am, Fm, CD, Tone Control.......and the preset buttons is out.

Ever other light appears 2 be working.......

I've checked the #12 fuse and it looks good........

A) does anyone know which fuse governs these controls?

B) If that fuse is ok......what other problem might it be?

Thx in advance

I checked out the manual but the description of each fuse was much too broad and the closest it seems was #12 fuse (Small Interior light) but that is good.

I see 3 different types of owner's manual, which one? coupe, sedan, or hybrid?

looking at the sedan, there are some potential ones in both the under the hood and inside the car. please specify.

mundy5.....thx for your attention.

here's the correct one:

https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/...707O00266A.pdf

And it was fuse #14 (not 12) that I checked (small interior light).

I also see #17 and #22 in the under the hood and also #35 in the interior fuse box as potential fuses you need to check.

the other possibility of course is that the bulbs burned out and you need to replace them. My climate control ones went out on my 6th gen and replacing the 2 bulbs fixed the issue for me.

I trust that your radio is working fine aside from the light issue correct?

It's only a simple connection problem...

This doesn't help the OP much. Can you provide a more precise answer?
