96 Honda Civic Radio Lights

[JdmRover]

Hi my radio lights went out.. its the radio numbers and buttons. Help?

 

[iOn]

I believe there's a fuse for that. Someone can chime in if I'm wrong.

Is it the factory radio?

Did just the radio go out?

Did just the illumination (numbers) go out?

Does the screen still light?

If you answered "yes" to all those questions -- smack the radio around a little. They have an internal grounding problem for the illumination. I've got about three of them that have the same problem.

yeah the radio works.. and and the radio screen works.. its just the number wont light up.. and ALSO ...the volume button doest work as it suppose too! like i turn it down and sometimes it goes up and back down ... and when i turn it up and goes down and up ..

It's that exact problem. All the radios I have with the light problem have the volume problem. It's an internal grounding issue between the circuit board and the body.

I haven't found a way.

I've got two 99-00 Si radios doing that, I actually didn't even realize the numbers were supposed to light up.
