2003 Honda Accord Radio Repair - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- In this video, I demonstrate the steps required to repair a common problem with the factory radio in a 2003 Honda Accord. The symptoms of this problem include a loss of the radio backlight, as well as the backlights for the HVAC controls, such that neither are visible at night.
I have to credit UA-cam users "mitch cox" and "HiTechElectronic" for providing the information I used to make this repair. Please also check out their videos, as I found them extremely helpful. My motivation for creating my own how-to video for this repair is to simply provide all of the information in one tutorial, including the removal, repair, and re-installation of the factory radio. In my initial searches for a solution to this problem, I did not find any videos that contained all of the information in one clip. I hope that this video will be helpful to some of you who have experienced this issue with the 2003 Accord.
I am not a professional mechanic, and my videos are intended to be used for informational purposes only, so please use this information at your own risk. I take no responsibility for the success you may have at attempting this repair on your own, and I urge you to be smart and do things safely if you do take on this repair.
Thank you for watching! - Авто та транспорт
Hey thanks so much for taking the time to show this! I just bought this car for my son. You really help a lot of people and I appreciate it!
Hi, just wanted to thank you for putting up this video. It helped me with my radio not lighting up. Couldn't have done it without this. Thamks!
Very useful, thanks Matt for taking a time and uploading this here
Thanks for posting such a detailed series of videos. BUT BEWARE!!!! Just to save other people the time I wasted on this --- this video shows repair of the OEM radio which has the 6-CD changer. It wasn't clear from the video. For those of us with the single CD player, the radio is completely different once it's taken out of the housing. If you're in this boat, you're better off searching for a replacement radio on eBay.
Thanks for the update. However, at 01:58 the front of the radio in the middle on top clearly says "6 DISC CD CHANGER".
@@coloradostrong _“clearly”_ is a stretch in that size 4 font, lol. And anyway it still would’ve been a helpful thing to have heard him clarify on just in case as it does make a huge difference in whether these instructions will work for your application or not. Very thankful to have found this comment before starting 🙌🏻🙌🏻
This video, and the second one, were perfect. I followed Matt's instructions and it worked like a charm. The only thing I really did differently was solder in a little jumper wire instead of using the conductive ink pen, which was a little tricky because it is a very tight space, but in the end, worked great!
Mr. Payne, you are the bomb! Your instructions could not be more clear and detailed, and I now have a working backlight as a result. Thanks ever so much for this. I'd like to buy you a case of beer.
Mark Guzewski Mark, that is awesome! That is a great success story, and that is the very reason I started posting videos here. I just want to try to help as many people as I can. I can't take credit for discovering how to do this repair, but thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad I was able to help out. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Matt! I just did this fix on my 2003 Honda Accord EX V6 with 6-CD changer, no-Nav. Panasonic radio model number 39175-SDA-A110. Instead of using the pen, I removed the part at R797 and traced a solder bead between the contacts.
Thank you so much for the videos; they help me fixing the back-light on my car
I had the same issue with my Honda, and with your guidance, it's is now fixed. Thanks for taking the time to post this video
+Ryan Elmiger Nice work, Ryan! I'm glad my videos helped. Thanks for watching!
Hey Matt, thanks so much for posting this great video. Your instructions were so detailed and clear. Saved me a bunch! All worked out perfectly.
3 tips for others:
1. The ribbon cable was very easy to remove in my Honda. I think the trick is not to try to remove the whole black connector. The Ribbon just slid out FROM the connector, which stays attached to the board. You've just got to be careful putting it back in the right way around.
2. I soldered a fine "jumper" cable over the fuse. Needed to sharpen the tip of my old Weller to reach into the tiny gap at the back.
3. Also, to remove the storage compartment, I pulled the gearstick into "1", after putting a brick under a tyre so the car didn't roll away. Ha ha!
Be brave everyone. You can do it!
Will be doing this on my lady’s 03 accord. Same issue, went through fuses, a few disassembly and reassemblies, even went down to the junk yard and tried using a different head unit(fail) and lastly installing all 4 new speakers and still nothing. wish i wouldve seen this video sooner but thank you for the precious information you shared with us 🤙🏼
Thanks for your detailed video of this repair. I tried using the circuit writer with the fuse in and could not get a good connection so I ended up having to remove the fuse, which took a long time to get it out, and applied several coat and it worked. Thank you and all you guys that post video repairs it has been extremely helpful for many of my projects.
Steve Harris Nice work, Steve! That is awesome. I'm so glad this worked for you. Kudos for having the guts to try this on your own!
Thanks for watching.
Thank you, Matt. Your step by step instructions were easy to follow and I was successful. My Honda dealer wanted to replace the radio when I called and didn't seem to know that this is a common problem. You saved me a pile of money.
This saved me lots of headaches and money! Thanks for posting. The hardest part for me was popping off the front edge of the dash piece covering the top of the radio. I resorted to wedging the sharp end of a paring knife in the crack to open it up just a bit, then sliding the large trim tool to pop it off. Just had to make sure to work along the dull side of the knife to avoid an ER visit.
Cool! I'm glad this video helped. I think that was the hardest part for me, too, especially since that part of the dash was quite soft and I was worried about damaging it.
Thanks for watching!
This repair is documented very well in these three videos. I was able to pull it off in about 2 hours after watching this video twice and then having my laptop on hand during each step. The trim removal tools and the solder were my only outlay ($20). You must use a narrow point on your soldering iron to get between the two other components when you lay in the solder, if you go that route.
I could have driven around without a radio for a week and spent 8 times as much for a swap of a rebuilt unit or 15 times as much for a outright purchase (and don't forget the $50 shipping charges).
Excellent work and my profound thanks!!!
Rduckey That is awesome! Kudos to you for taking this on yourself! And, thanks for your kind words and for sharing your success story. Trying to help people is the whole reason I post these videos.
Enjoy your now-functioning radio!
2004 Accord V6. Great video! Very helpful. Appreciate the detailed instructions. I opted to buy a new/refurbished board ($50) from an OEM vendor online instead but with your directions it took me a little over an hour from start to finish to replace it. My cable on the circuit board was easy to remove. I placed my fingers as close as possible to the connection point and gently moved the cable side to side slightly and it came right out. Did the same when I reconnected it to the new board
Great job man! You saved me hours of frustration. You ROCK dude, thx!
Dan, I'm so sorry for not replying sooner - I was completely overwhelmed at work this summer/fall and I am just now getting a chance to catch up on messages and comments. Please accept my apology, as I do try to make a point to respond to viewers in a timely manner. I just got swamped over the summer and really couldn't keep up.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and great job on tackling your repair yourself! That is a great score on finding a replacement motherboard for your radio, and honestly - that is a much better way to go than the fix in my video. Job well done, sir!
Thanks again for your comment and for checking out my channel!
Thanks Matt!! All told it took about 2.5 hours to get the radio out and do the repair (I opted to solder) and put it back together again. Saved me a bunch ($$$)!!! Keep up the great work :)
+Howard Larade You're welcome, Howard! That's awesome that your repair worked. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your success story!
This was a great help. Thanks for posting it. I just put in a Blue tooth device for my wifes car and it is so much faster knowing where all the tie down tabs are. Did not have to repair the radio - luckily.
That's great to hear! I'm glad this was helpful for a purpose other than simply replacing the radio. Thanks for checking it out!
dude you are awesome. explaining very clear with perfect English. very helpful thank you.

Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you found my video helpful. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Matt! I just followed those steps and the radio works perfectly. The whole process took about an hour. After I opened the radio and found the defected component, I realized the pen I got was a circuit coating pen not a circuit writer, so I just got a tiny wire and twisted it around the component to short it. I'll probably have to use the circuit writer sometime soon, but for now it works.
Nice work!! Is the repair still holding up?
It is still working perfectly.
cant say thanks enough... This worked to a "T" Your video was spot on and great to follow. Thanks a bunch for posting!!!
+2715jedi You're welcome! I'm really glad this was helpful!
Thanks Matt,
I followed this guide and successfully repaired the radio. I used the same pen, and applied 2 coats. I didn't wait overnight for the ink to dry, but just used a hair dryer to speed up the process.
Nice work!! Great idea with the hairdryer. I'm glad this worked for you...thanks for watching!
Thank you very much! It works well! But in my radio, it seemed like there was not much space like yours to make a join and put a wire. So fortunately, I was able to take out the resistance and just put enough tin to make the contact. It really seems they made it easy to break and hard to work there, just to make us pay to change the radio or something like that... Whatever, your video was very useful. Thank you again! ;)
best accord dash video ive seen thanks very helpful
+wosko Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!
Watched all 3 videos and was able to fix my radio back light. Thank you for this video!
+Bryan Ferreras Awesome, that's great to hear! Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on making your repair on your own!
Thanks for the easy fix tutorial. Worked great!
+Robert C. Michel You're welcome! I'm really glad this worked for you. Thanks for watching!
took about a hour and half. used rosin solder and the ribbon canle unplugs pretty easily. thanks for the video
Thanks a lot man!!! It worked! Thanks a lot again, you saved me lots of money!!
nata9604 That's awesome! I'm always happy to hear a success story. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I watched all three parts and have to say it was really pretty easy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. A $300 repair only cost me $25,
Jean Simmons That's great, Jean! I'm happy to have helped. Thanks for your comment, and good work!
***** Ok so it worked for a couple of days. Does the circuit writer pen have a heat threshold? I haven't taken it apart but was just wondering if that might be the cause.
Thank you Matt !!!! For 5 years I continue to ask Honda why my light is out on my radio panel. I always get the same answer. It's " I don't know take it to a radio shop because they don't fix radio's. That's a very sorry answer from Honda !!! I have dealt with it for years and not gotten it fixed guess i'm saying I"ve gotten use to it. In saying I lost my husband to cancer several years ago so I try to d0 everything on my own with no help. I'm giving my car to my granddaughter as she will be 16 in Dec. I'm going to try and tackle fixing this myself. I'm I turn OFF MY CELL PHONE and pay attention to you video I'm praying I can make it happen!!! I did make a list of your tools you used. Cross your fingers for me that I can make it happen! THANK YOU MUCH ........
Sheron Mcculley Morrison go for it u can do it
Sheron Mcculley Morrison can't break what don't work....
Did you fix it?
Thanks, good video. Hopefully this works, my radio is driving me nuts.
EXCELLENT tutorial !
+philmorrissette Thank you!
this is 2006 (manufactured) and 2007 new honda accord. Thank you! Now I know for sure that this is NOT a fix I want to attempt and will take it to dealer to do for me. :D
to remove the air vents on top its super easy, all you have to do is stick your fingers or something in the vents and pull forward twards you and it comes off really easy without any damage to anything.
Honda Accord 2004 EXL V6 radio display light not working.
Thank you for the very detailed video on removing and fixing the radio display light. It’s not an easy fix but the video was very helpful during the removal and repair of the circuit. Once I removed the circuit board I realized how small the fuse was, and how tight an area you had to work with. I used needle nose pliers to break the plastic case on the fuse which left the two contacts to the circuit board. My soldering iron is a little big for this kind of repair so I was worried about affecting the two circuits on either side of the fuse. I used telephone wire to bridge the circuit, because it’s thinner than normal electrical wire. I cut the wire about 5 inches long and stripped off about an inch. Once the wire was soldered across the contacts I cut off the excess. I checked the radio display light before I put everything back together, and it worked. Total repair time was about 3 hours, but it saved me the 800 dollars the dealer said it would cost to fix.
Thanks.
Bob Pearson Great work, Bob! You are more brave and more skilled than I am. I had the same concerns about working in such a tight area, and my cheap, bulky soldering iron seemed like it was likely to butcher the job. Excellent work getting it done with phone wire. I'm glad the repair fixed your problem!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience!
this is brilliant! thank you
No problem! I can't take credit for the original idea, but I'm glad this video helped! Thanks for watching!
By any chance do you know a fix for 2005 Honda Accord. Having the same issue, however stereo's circuit board is totally different.
Thanks. worked great for display and climate control lights
Awesome, that's great to hear!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial, but before I get started i just wanted to ask you something. My issue is that the control lights for the radio/HVAC dont work, however the backlight for the radio display works fine. Do you think it could still be fixed with the fuse or would this seem to imply that the bulbs need replaced?
thanks, just bought an accord with this problem and I was worried it would be costly
Mine does this too! Thanks so much I'm going to try this.....
Brian O'Boyle Glad to help! Let me know how it goes.
Great set of instructions. Radio worked for 4 months after using liquid wire to jumper the fuse. Last night the radio display started to flicker, heavy electric burning odor and then the display went out. Any ideas on what's blowing the fuse on the mother board? Is the problem isolated to the mother board and will replacing the radio fix it?
What tool did you use to get the 3 clips out under the radio
I have a question:
should I disconnect the battery before attempting this?
Very informative tutorial by the way! 😊👍
So I just successfully did this fix with a circuitwriter pen. I actually pried off the tiny fuse/resistor and worried I had pulled out the leads into the circuitboard... but I guess it's OK. My initial coat of ink almost bled laterally onto the adjacent circuit--was super close, be careful not to over-apply much at once, it will move. I used a 60-watt light bulb about 5 inches from the board, left it for almost 10 hours or so.
Brought it back into the car, plugged it up, and it worked! But then the next time I turned the car on it was out again. So I brought it back in and did 2 or 3 more coats of ink on it, letting it cure longer under the light each time. Probably total of 36 hours under the light just to be safe. During this time I took the A/C panel and plugged it back in to the car so I could use it while I was curing the radio board. That works fine, all controls work without the radio.
So after my extra coats I plugged it up and so far today it is working fine! Backlights for A/C work, too. I also took the time to install an auxiliary cord adapter to plug into my phone. Also, apparently the previous owner of my car had hooked up an XM antenna, which was preventing me from getting the lower frequencies on my radio, and almost by luck I realized where the old radio cord was, plugged that back in and I get my full FM radio spectrum now.
So I was worried that the fix didn't work at first, but putting on extra 2-3 coats of ink (carefully... don't use too much at one time or it will bleed over) and curing it under a light did the trick for me.
2003 Honda Accord LX V6
well shizzle... it burned out after a week. literally burned. I could smell the PCB board cooking for half an hour on my road trip. radio still works but it set me back to no backlight display or a/c backlights
Does anyone have a problem with the CD player not accepting CDs? Theyre all empty, and itll say to load it but when i put in a CD it will just eject and load the CD several times before it ejects it. No CDs are in the player. Ive reset the radio as well. Its for a 2006 honda accord.
Yes I have it's not taking the CDs. Do you know what's the problem
That's happening me too
does this repair fix the problem of just the screen being really dim? I can still see my display stuff during the day, but at night I need to shine a flash light to see stuff on the screen.
+matas eitmantis Yes
Thank you for the post Matt! It was very straight forward and easy to follow. I did end up damaging one clip from the gear shift panel, but was able to super glue back into place.
I used the Circuit Writer, put it all back together and the system lit up like new! Unfortunately, my fix lasted no more than 10 seconds. I think my problem is that I only gave it a few hours to dry before testing. Do you know if you have to fully cure before use? Has your fix been long term? Also, my radio lit up but not my other panel lights. Thoughts?
+Miles Osborn Hey Miles, I'm sorry to hear your repair didn't last very long. When I did this, I let it cure for at least 24 hours....not necessarily because I knew that's how long it required, but simply because I couldn't get around to finishing it up any sooner. In any case, the repair has lasted over 2 years (as far as I know - the vehicle in my video belonged to a friend, who has since sold it to another acquaintance of mine). Several other people have commented here that they had the same issue with the repair failing after only allowing it to cure for a few hours, and I believe at least one person later replied that it worked "permanently" on the second try after giving the conductive ink at least 24 hours to set up before using the radio again.
I would try again, if you have the patience, and see what happens. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out for you!
Matt Payne
If by any slim chance you're still connected to these videos, I'm looking for some help. I followed and finished and repaired the fuse with the circuit write and lights all work. However, the lights will NOT go off with the power off and key out, etc. The lights are always on and get quite hot. I can pull the radio fuse to turn lights off, which also turns off radio as well.Thoughts? Fixes? I have a tentative plan to somehow "thin" or lessen any excessive amounts of my sloppy circuit writer pen fix.
Same issue on my end. Any responses?
Hi, I'm very sorry for not replying sooner - I was completely overwhelmed at work this summer/fall and I am just now getting a chance to catch up on messages and comments. Please accept my apology, as I do try to make a point to respond to viewers in a timely manner. I just got swamped over the summer and really couldn't keep up.
I hope you were able to resolve your issue, but in case you are still having trouble - I believe several other people have mentioned that they have the same problem. My guess is that some of the conductive ink may have "bled" onto another part of the circuit board, preventing the On/Off switch from cutting power to the radio. As you suggested, it may be necessary to remove the conductive ink and try again. I don't know of the best way to do that, although I suspect that a soldering iron would heat and liquefy the conductive ink so that it could be wiped/scraped away.
I hope you have solved this issue, and if so - please respond if you get a chance to let me know what you did. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Hi Jon, as I posted above, I'm very sorry for not replying sooner - I was completely overwhelmed at work this summer/fall and I am just now getting a chance to catch up on messages and comments. Please accept my apology, as I do try to make a point to respond to viewers in a timely manner. I just got swamped over the summer and really couldn't keep up. Were you able to resolve your issue yet?
Hi, just have a question. do I follow the same process if the radio does work but the sound doesn't come out???
Unfortunately, I believe that is a different problem. You could try connecting an external speaker to the speaker connection on the back of your radio to see if you can eliminate the possibility of a speaker wiring issue in your vehicle. If the sound plays that way, then you know you need to trace out the speaker wiring. If you still get no sound, then it would suggest you have an issue with the radio itself, but I do not believe this particular repair will solve that issue. In that case, I would search for a Honda online forum and browse through the electronics section. I bet you can find a lot of good information there.
Good luck!
I have the same problem did I finds a fix?
can someone please confirm if it's possible to install aftermarket cd receiver without removing the old honda receiver from the top? thanks.
+KH Y I believe you should be able to install an aftermarket stereo in the lower storage compartment and wire it into the "AUX" input...but I am not 100% sure about that. Hopefully someone else can weigh in and confirm.
Does this cover the issue as the radio randomly shutting off with a thump out of the speakers? When driving the backlight randomly turns on and off.
+Bill Abdallah Unfortunately, I think that may be a separate issue. I believe several other people have described that same issue, but I honestly don't know what the cause may be. I'm sorry I'm not more help!
that's cool. I am looking for a replacement, but haven't gotten to the scrap yards yet. no way i am paying over $300 for new.
i have a 2004 accord and the radio will make a pop sound and go off. i have wiggled the power/volume button and it comes back on. will this video help me
Oh.. its gonna be the same.. just give it awhile.
Hey how can i get in contact with you my car has this same exact problem
Along with my back light being off, my radio turns ON & OFF when the key is out of the ignition. Does this solder fix on the mother board fix this issue also??
Thanks for the help.
2005 Honda Accord
Paul
Paul Bonsi Hi Paul, I'm not really sure about that. That sounds like it might be a different problem.
Can anyone else offer any input?
***** My girlfriend's radio did this also. To the point of draining her battery by morning. Currently the dealer disconnected the radio unit, for $200 (real convenient, eh?) Did you ever find a fix, Paul?
***** Hey Dan, Not yet. I try to turn the radio off every time I get out. So far my battery is still good. I was going to try the "shorting" on the radio fuse to see if that not only corrects the back light, but also the ON/OFF issue, My dealer said it was the mother board on the radio & just to get a new radio. I'll post if I find out anything.
So when your radio goes blank and sometimes comes on and off would that be a fuse or circuit board
Zachary Jacobs The backlight going blank could definitely be related to this bad resistor, but I think the intermittent audio is due to either loose wiring/speaker cables, or a problem with the radio motherboard. Several other people have mentioned that problem, and based on the little bit of research I did, it sounds like that problem is caused by a failing motherboard.
Good luck!
Hi, I went through alot just to pry open every screws only to find that the model is different! Mine is a single cd player and a 2003 dx. Do you have an idea of how to fix it? I wish I could share the pics with you. Thanks! My A/c works though
Abimbola Ajayi I wish I could say I know how to repair that, but unfortunately I do not. I would search for an online Honda forum and post a question there. I would bet that someone much more knowledgeable than I am will help you out. Here is one such forum that I have found:
www.driveaccord.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=154
Sorry for taking so long to reply to you. Thanks for checking out my video.
***** Thanks for taking time to respond. I will surely check the site. Much appreciated!
Hi, mine is showing CD error and would quickly eject the cd. what is the soltuion to this? its only fm that is working at the moment
Michael Anyanwu Hi Michael, unfortunately I don't know the solution to your problem. The CD player on the radio I repaired in my video was not working either, and the repair in my video did not solve that problem. It is a separate issue. I have read elsewhere that the only solution is to replace the entire radio, but I do not know if that is accurate or not.
I'm sorry I'm not more help. If you do figure out your problem, please post an update here so other people can read about it. Thanks, and good luck!
did this radio have any sound I have an 04 no lights or sound? fueses are all good
read down and got my awanser great video
not sure if you would know or not, but can you put an LX radio in an EX honda? Ive been told that the radios are "very car specific"..yet they look exactly the same? thanks
+stillettopumps86 I honestly don't know the answer to that, but I would think that as long as the housing/trim is compatible with your car and the wiring connectors are the same, that you should be able to interchange the radios. However, that is assuming that they have the same specs....if one has something like a navigation system and the other doesn't, I doubt you'll be able to interchange them.
I'm sorry I'm not more knowledgeable. I would search for an online Honda forum and see what you can find out. There is usually a technology/electronics portion of such forums with some really good information.
I hope this helps some. Good luck!
no problem. thanks for your input though =)
Don't know if u found out yet but u cannot. The ex have the dual controls built into the radio whereas the lx do not.
yea i have already bought a different radio and the dash kit lol but thanks!
I have a 99 Honda civic and my radio is lock I got the code but it won't let me enter the code.
Hi, I have the same problem but it's with the stereo sound as well since it won't play music or even sound off anything. Will this fix this issue aswell?
Chris Irving Chris, I'm not totally sure about that, but it's possible that you might have two separate issues. I suppose your sound issue could be something like a blown fuse, but I would do some searching on a Honda forum and see what you can find. I was able to find a fair amount of good information on several forums.
I'm sorry I'm not more help with your specific issue. If anyone else can chime in and help Chris out, please do!
Thank you so much Matt, you helped more than you know especially since I'll be able to at least see what I'm pressing! 5 star video, very helpful and informative
Chris Irving Thanks so much for the kind words, Chris! I really hope you are able to sort out your issue. Let me know if you do...I'm sure someone else out there has the same issue and may stumble across this video/comments and could benefit from your solution.
Good luck!
Where is the fuse that feeds the damn yellow wire/constant 12V?
I tried this fix last weekend and it worked! The Circuit Writer pen I picked up at Frys cost me ~$25 and the overall process took around 4 hours. Cured the Circuit Writer overnight to ensure that its fully set before plugging in the power for the radio.
How long has this fix lasted for people?
Ling Tang That's awesome! Nice work on doing this yourself. I made this repair last October...it was in a friend's vehicle, and he has since sold it to another friend of my family, but last I heard, the radio backlights were still working. Hopefully they will continue to do so for a long time. I hope your repair lasts, too.
+Ling Tang Is your Honda radio fix still working?
I have an issue with my 2004 Honda Accord radio. After removing a fuse to unlock ignition to remove my key, I noticed that the radio doesn't have any power. Have you had this problem before? the CD ejection button works so I know there is something weird going on.
+Jose Gomez Hmm...so you removed a fuse, then re-installed it, and the radio won't turn on now?
That's correct
It was the Ignition AC fuse. Is a 7.5. Not even the XM radio that I have hooked up to the car works
+Jose Gomez That's pretty bizarre. Have you tried replacing the fuse with a new one? (I'm guessing you have) It's odd that the CD eject button still works, but your XM radio doesn't. How is the XM radio connected to your vehicle's power system?
+Matt Payne is using the power from the actual radio. I haven't replaced the fuse to tell you the truth but I'll start there first.
hello mate, problem with my 2004 honda Accord's stereo is that its showing display all the time, it even shows that cd or radio is being played but there is no sound at all. please help if you have an idea about this issue
I'm sorry to hear about your issue! Unfortunately, I don't think the repair in this video will solve that problem. I'm not really sure what might be causing that, but you may want to check to see if a speaker fuse is blown. You could try removing the radio and then connecting a different external speaker to the back to see if any sound plays. If that works, then you know there is likely an issue with the speaker wiring (or perhaps a fuse somewhere) in the vehicle.
I hope that is at least somewhat helpful. Good luck, and please let me know if you figure it out, as I'm sure there are other people that may have the same issue.
The screen on mine is completely shattered. How is it fixed?
I followed the instructions and after doing everything thing when i started the car the light on the display came but when i turned on the head lights the display also went out. i tried this twice but the same result.what could be the problem
+Vignesh Kumar Hi Vignesh, did you wait about 24 hours after applying the conductive ink before testing the radio? Multiple people have said that they had issues when not giving the ink 24 hours or more to cure. If you tested your repair less than 24 hours after completing it, the ink might not have had time to set up, so you might need to take the radio back out and try again.
If you did wait 24 hours, you may just have not gotten good electrical contact with the conductive ink.
I hope you're able to figure it out. Good luck!
+Matt Payne Hi matt I applied the ink again and waited for 24 hours.It did the trick and now both my radio dispaly and HAVC lights are working.Thanks for your help.
My 2003 radio turns off and on by itself, then quit with occasionally off/on. Anybody have a solution for this one or is it just that Honda had shitty radios.
This appears to not be the more common static noise from the audio system problem. I wonder if this is a different issue or related.
Please tell me when you find the answer 🙏🏽 I can NOT find a solution
@@Babybuuxxx @preciousbullett1482 You stroke luck, i have repaired this 4 months ago and no problem since. If you have the static shredding noise and big pop sound on the radio speakers then that's it (not the screen issue), the problem is failing solder joints. I resoldered all joints and it completely fixed it. I tried other things before doing that and nothing worked. It requires the ability to do fine electronics soldering a skill i already had. Get a quality soldering iron with a fine tip like Hakko, with good temperature regulation, don't buy a generic cheap soldering iron or it will considerable increase difficulty in doing the job. You also need gel solder flux such as in a seringe and small gage solder. First clean the board with ISP alcohol then brush a small area of the board with a thin layer of flux gel and reflow each joint with your soldering iron. Repeat until all joint have been reflowed. I suspect the failing joint to be one of the 32 pins recangular IC which has a longer middle ground joint that looked bad or one of the big diodes mounted vertically on the side of the board. Take your time and if you haven't done it before practice on a scrap board first.

How about I change the whole head unit to double din DVD player would that work ? HELP
samson solomon Samson, I'm afraid that question is above my level of expertise. Can anyone else chime in?
I've seen a write up for that. not sure which forum anymore though
my radio is factory and I did the code thing and got the radio to come back on but now it stays on 5-10 mins then I have to reput in the code again if want to listen for 5 more minutes can you help plz
+Yvette Beasley Hi Yvette, I'm not totally sure what might be causing that, but it almost sounds like you have an issue with the power being sent to the radio. If I remember correctly, you have to enter the radio code any time the battery is disconnected. So if the radio is asking for the code every few minutes, it seems like something is interrupting the power from the electrical system. I don't know what might be doing that, but if you want to troubleshoot it yourself, you could pull the radio out and turn accessories on and then use a multimeter to check for voltage at the power connector on the back of the radio unit. If the voltage drops to zero occasionally, then you'll know you have found the cause of the problem. The next step would just be finding the source of the voltage issue, which would probably involve tracing the power wire backwards, starting at the electrical connector.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and let me know if you figure it out.
my 05 accord I have had nothing but problems since I bought it in 07, the radio went on and off all night when the car was just sitting in the parking lot. now its finally not coming on at all except sometimes when I puch up underneath it really hard will come on temporarily
+Matt J Sorry to hear that, Matt. You are not alone in having those problems; several other people have commented that their radio does the same thing. Unfortunately that sounds like a problem with the motherboard that the repair in my video is not likely to fix. Sorry about that.
I tried installing a new radio in my 03 accord and after removing the radio and hooking up the new one, both of them now dont turn on. I removed everything and plugged the original radio back in and it wont turn on. Ive checked the fuses. if anyone thinks it knows anything let me know
Mike, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. Have you checked to make sure you have power coming to the radio at the power wire? This almost sounds like a bad ground connection, thus preventing the circuit from being completed...but I am far from being an electronics guru, so that is just a wild guess.
My cd player ejects my 💿 in my honda accord 2005 some one knows how to fix that?
My stereo is working fine, but the back illumination stays on all the time. and kills the battery. has anyone seen this before and is there a fix. I have pulled the radio fuse.
broaddh I'm honestly not sure about that, but it sounds more like an issue with the radio on/off switch. I'm sorry I can't offer more help, but maybe somebody else will have some ideas about that. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
I need to remove them radio because only one speaker work , the left door speaker. All the other no sound. I use the circuit tester and the speakers are good. Maybe the radio is bad.
HELP.
I tried this fix, and it worked great at first. The lights came right on. But now the lights will not turn off even when the key is removed. This has led to my battery dying twice. Any suggestions?
Tyler Messerschmidt Tyler, I'm not totally sure what may have caused that. Did you solder across the resistor, or did you use a "circuit writer" pen like in my video? I suppose it's possible some solder/conductive ink could "bleed" onto another circuit and short something out.
*****
It was the Circuit writer pen. I thought I was fairly precise with it. I know I will have to pull the radio out again, just was trying to get a possible solution before then.
Is it same as the tsx 2004?
+Andriy Tsoy That is a really good question, and unfortunately, I don't know the answer. I'm not sure if the same stereo unit was used in the TSX. Does your TSX have a navigation system? If so, I think that is a different unit.
My 2004 accord don't have the to screws in the no ashtray ?
Hmm, perhaps it is just held in by clips instead? Were you able to get it removed?
yes it does you have to remove the rubber cup first. Its hard to see because of the angle. Mine is also a 2004
I have a 2004 Accord and my radio plays when the car is off. Any ideas on this?
c711jr1 Hmm...so in other words, you can never turn the radio off? That sounds like a faulty on/off switch...but truthfully, I have no idea how to repair that. I would look for a Honda forum online and post a question there. I would bet that someone else has had the same issue and might be able to help you out.
Good luck!
***** Thanks! Which one would you recommend? There are hundreds of Honda forums out here lol.
try disconnecting the negative terminal on your battery for 15 seconds, then put it back on. I had the same problem and this would fix it most of the time
man i could never go threw that drama! i just bought a sm raido disk that hooked to my phone.and u just use a open raido station..thanks for sharing. u did a great job!Its really dumb that they put it behind the stero!! I have been looking for that thing for years!!lol
Debby Clemos Thanks for watching!
we have the same car so i will stay tuned !!!
Followed this video to repair the radio back light. The radio control lights now work, but not the radio lights. The bigger problem is the radio and climate control lights will not go off. Any ideas why?
+Jeffrey Williamson... I had the same problem. Led to a dead battery! I'm going to have to pull the entire thing again and see if my solder job ( I used the pen in the video) is touching anything else on the circuit board.

my handa Accord Coupe 2002 has no power
dont loos power everyone says fuse light stays on itt will start playing games all the sudden rarely do you understad
No sound light stays on plays once a month for a minute again lights stay on
Put HOW TO in the description you will get paid more for views
Light stays on
The best thing to do is get the metra dash kit and buy an aftermarket cd player. Honda factory radio on this model is crap
My CD player stopped working, Thus I replaced the whole thing
Andy Au How much did you spend replacing the whole thing?
I don't understand stand why they integrated the hvac control with the stereo unit never again buying a Honda Accord again
+Sun Spider Yeah, it seems like a pretty poor design. They definitely had a lot of issues with this particular unit. I hope you can get yours repaired!
