Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and a proud owner of a silver 02 coupe 4cyl vtec 5sp. I'm looking forward to making new friends here.

Ok so to the topic. Here's what I need help with...I recently installed this 15w HID reverse light kit and everything works great. So the next day I get in my car I turn my key in the ignition to the on position and noticed my odometer not on. Further more I start my car and none of my gauges work(tach, speedo, gas, and temp) bu they light up. Just when I thought it can't get any worse i tried rolling my windows down but they don't work also. So I wonder if it was because of the reverse HIDs I turned them on to check it, and it doesn't work at all which is weird because they were working the day before. So I went to check for anything else that's not working and found my sunroof doesn't open too. Everything else works fine. It's just my gauges, windows, sunroof, and reverse lights not working. So I switched my lights to the stock ones and no they still don't work. I went through the fuses and replaced all of them a:eusa_wall:nd still no luck. I've checked the harness for my reverse lights and they look brand new still. So I'm pretty stumped right now.

Anybody got any suggestions on what I should do??:eusa_wall:

Welcome to 6GA.

The fuse that controls the problem your having with the reverse lights and the gauges is on the driver side fuse panel. Fuse #9. I would replace that regardless if the fuse doesn't "look" like its blown and see if that fixes your problem. There are spare fuses and a fuse puller located in the fuse box next to the battery under the hood.

After you replaced fuse #9 and it still doesn't work.. most likely it's the multiplex unit.

Thanks Jephu, I already changed the fuse so it looks like it have to be the multiplex unit. I'll keep you posted on the end result right after I get it installed

UPDATE:
Thanks Jephu, I swapped out the multiplex control unit and now everything works again. I'm so relieved. I'm glad I decided to join this forum because of helpful people like you.

Soon I'll post some pictures of other on going projects to my CG
