Multiplex Control unit. No Light on Instrument Cluster Gauges

[V6DZ]

2000 Honda accord v6
Instrument cluster has never worked. Well The lights for the gauges have never worked. but the Lights for the warning lights, blinkers and all those work just fine.


After doing research im finding multiplex control unit being the culprit. I have tore the cluster out, checked and changed all bulbs. Outside of the vehicle i can jump the cluster gauges lights and they work. Ive checked the #9 fuse. Were all good there.

There is a recall on these multiplexes i guess. See below link.

Now we Broke boys. My question is, is there a way to open this multiplex and fix it? or do we need to just get a new one? Thanks!

I don't recall anyone disassembling their multiplexor to fix it, but it has been a while. Still, I am thinking it requires replacement.

If you have an aftermarket radio or if you can tell someone else did then check your license plate light fuse on the passenger side fusebox
