Well done sir! I have several lights out in my dash, but today when the D light no longer lit, I decided enough was enough. Now I just have to research which bulbs to buy before taking everything apart. Thanks so much. You have produced a very professional piece here!
Hello Kathy and thank you for the feedback!:) Glad to be of help!:). If I can do it, so can you. Play your favorite songs, grab a cold drink, and enjoy the project:).
I thought I could manage without a light on the clock but quickly discovered that I couldn't. This video is so clear - picture-wise and instruction-wise - that I feel confident that I can show my husband how to do it! Thanks so much!!!
I really appreciate the description for disassembling the Honda odyssey dash cluster cause my service engine soon light blowed so I'm replacing all the bulbs. So thank you for the video.
Thanks for the excellent video! I replaced the 'D' bulb and various others that were out. One thing to add that may help others - If those metal tabs that hold the board to the back of the cluster are not completely pulled through and and folded over, you may get light "bleed" into other areas from the general illumination bulbs. A small sliver of my turn signal indicators were illuminated when they shouldn't have been. I had to go back in and make sure the tabs were pulled all the way out and down. Thanks Again!
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Great point regarding the metal tabs!:) I had another light go out and plan to get back into it (again):).
I was struggling with figuring out where all this light bleed was coming from, so ty for this. I have the same problem where I could see my turn signal indicators and I was flummoxed on where the install went wrong.
Extremely well done video; your genuine desire to be helpful really shines through here. There may be other videos showing similar things but what you have done goes well beyond them.
I have to do this to fix the Odometer backlight and bunch of other lights on the climate control panel. I had fixed few and the clock back light in the past. For some reason, I am just too lazy to take the first step to fix :-)
8 years ago & just popped up now. My 03's radio is larger with CD and cassette & no storage cubby. Rear DVD is mounted lower. My interior light switch is mounted on left & where yours is I have a Passenger Side Airbag light
Did the bulb replacement today on my 2000 Ody, piece of cake with this video as a guide......thanks for saving me $$$! Used $7. trim prying tools from Harbor Freight.
+psydoc27 GREAT to hear and glad to help!:) My van is running great, and the dash light is running strong:). I have another video on how to repair the side windows as well. I thought the motor was going out and decided to conduct some additional research. I discovered the relay has a poor design, so I leverage a landscape light bulb to act as the relay ... sounds really strange it is works great!:) If you ever have an issue with the side windows, take a look at the other video ... it might help.
the man working the HONDA parts desk told me the bulbs are made to last 10 years ... If you are going to take the dash apart to replace one bulb ... Replace all of the bulbs !
I was able to replace the light bulb for D but then my mileage light went out after, when I turn on the car the D icon turns on then turns off. Also I can see other light icons on barely but not completely lit up did I pull too hard on the chip board that caused that? I didn’t disconnect the battery either while doing the work.
Interesting and nice work getting the bulb replaced!:) No need to disconnect the battery. Sounds like you are getting power to the board which is good, however the other bulbs are not getting enough power. Do you have the right replacement bulb? And you might consider checking all connections as something might be loose. Nonetheless, nice job getting to this point!:)
Thank you for posting this video. I went all through the Internet trying to find a video explaining how to change these particular bulbs. This was the most informative and descriptive video I found. I was clueless on how to do this until I came across this video. This procedure worked exactly the same on my Acura TL. Good job!!!
+Mitch Peterson Thanks Mitch!:) I believe any effort taken to overcome various challenges regardless of topic should be recorded so others can benefits. You will see videos from me regarding my changing lights on my Honda to changing brakes on my Rogue to replacing toilets:). Thanks again for your feedback and glad to be help!:)
I have Honda Odyssey 2001, the Radio/CD on but the sound not come to the speakers. Can you help and let me know how to fix it. I try to look at the fuse box and the fuse they say #11 ( interior light, Radio) still good so what I need to do with that problem. Thank you very much. Your Videos is very good, step to step very easy to follow.
Oh - I should add - I found it easier to reassemble by putting the circuit board in first, then pushing each of the three instruments in, one at a time, from the front. Then I did the tabs.
Can't seem to get the first panel off, but I can hear one pin pop. I have tried both the pry tool and the pulling, and I got one of them to pop by pulling. Do you have any tips to remove the panel? Also, what would go in that slot is the fog light switch I think; when I removed the cover, the bottom said "FOG" on it.
Curious to know if you got the panel off since a few days have passed:). It can be tricky but doable ... keep at it and it will pop (no special tips to give:)). Not certain about the FOG label but might think the same.
DonSegien Thank you! I believe in helping people with various challenges I may face in life from autos, to electronics, to home repair:). Thanks again for the comment!
Lemme tell ya what - you have a nice video here, my friend. I had that cluster out since I had installed a righteous double-DIN navigation-radio and I wanted to nail that stupid clock lamp. So fixing that D light just made sense. But how to get the back of the cluster off? I had the factory manual, and all it said was "see cluster disassembly procedure on page 14-20." Well, it showed how to get the cluster out - but the rest of the page was blank! You fixed that. Thanks!
so I replace the clock light and successfully did replace it but it did not light up what do you think it could be I checked the fuses fuses were fine but the clock light will not illuminate I'm stuck what next?
Hello Bryan - to confirm ... you replaced the clock light and not a light to the shift column? I replaced the clock light as well which wasn't too bad. If you replaced it and no light, I would get back into the light and check connectivity. If all looks good, replace the bulb again with known good working bulb and check for light before reassembly. Hopefully, you get light:). If not, check continuity of the bulb (ensure you have a good wire) ... check BEFORE you place the bulb and AFTER (providing you do not get light). If you have continuity before but not after, you will know something is blowing the bulb. If you have continuity before and after, check to ensure power is getting to the bulb assembly ... follow the power back to the fuse box. Hopefully, you will find the issue along the way:).
it works! I checked the connection of the bulb and was not connected properly. thank u once again. question! what do u think of replacing bulbs with led light bulbs
GREAT to hear!:) You could definitely replace with led bulbs which would offer a longer life and various colors. The standard bulbs seem to last relatively long considering I have only needed to jump into the dash a couple of times over the last 15yrs:).
I was thinking about replacing all the dashboard lights with color led lights, do you know how many and what size I would need? 2002 odyssey. thanks :)
I like the customization of different colored lights:). Not certain of the number nor the size. It's not too bad to open up the dash though. Would be nice if you have a store nearby to get the bulbs:). Radio Shack was the go-to place but they closed so now I go online which takes time to ship.
Yes, I am thinking I will order online as well. But first I will have to find out how many and what sizes. I am wanting to do the entire dash, radio area, etc.. I really like that look. Thanks for the response and info. Cheers
Got all the bulbs for this cluster available here - www.speedometerbulbs.com/collections/acura-honda the main lights for this board are Toshiba v-2 socket... the gear selector lights are available at the Honda section of my website
Thanks man. D4 light out been driving me nuts. Your video was great. Awesome detail & in-depth explanations. Game changer
I know the feeling and glad to be of help!:)
5 years later, and you’re still helping people with this VERY common issue. Great video. Thank you!
Awesome and thanks for the post/feedback!:) I referenced my own video a year ago when I needed to pull the cluster out to change another bulb!:)

@@miguelestrada3018 you need to make sure to pull the tabs more tightly. I used needle nose pliers to do that prior to folding the metal tabs

I have a similar problem with "D" light goes out. Thanks for the tip, I will replace the light bulb by using the clock bulb. Great video. Thank you.
+Chris Chong Thanks for the comment and glad to be of help!:)

Hello - thank you for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Nice and with attention to detail.
“D” bulb part number:
Part No.: 78181-SS0-003
Socket Assy., Bulb (14V 1.12W)
Thanks for the additional information ... my mileage light just went out so I will be going back into the dash:).
Great video, thanks!!!
Thanks for the information, much help.
Thank you for an excellent video!!!
Glad to be of help Jay!:)
super exact same problem heck I love honda every fix I searched in youtube has one.
Glad to be of help Lucas!:) I had another bulb go out recently and looks like I need to go back into the dash:).
definitely subscribed 👍

Your Videos is very good, step to step very easy to follow.
Glad to be of help:). I suspect the radio might be faulty. If the radio has power, the fuse is good.
So I have D is out and also other main cluesster light are out. I replace it with 158 bulb but they are not lighting up...
might check the connectors to the given bulb and/or circuit board.
With legos, you don't need to struggle to pull out the pieces. Not quite the analogy.
Oh - I should add - I found it easier to reassemble by putting the circuit board in first, then pushing each of the three instruments in, one at a time, from the front.
Then I did the tabs.
+Mark Bell Good point and thanks for the additional info.
Thanks a lot, my check engine light went out
glad to be of help!:)
Muchas gracias....
nice video. i have that problem but i have other issues now. the whole cluster went out this is my 3 cluster any idea wat that can be
