I have a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback, I tried pressing the light button several times to get the dash lights working. Sometimes they don't work. How do I replace the dash lights? Some visual step-by-step guide would be appreciated.
Is this a good question?

you can start with the fuse. Underhood fuse/relay box on passenger side of engine compartment near the strut tower
Fuse 2 (15A) - 12V all the time
Make sure that the contacts are not corroded etc. If the fuses are okay, check the wiring harness. Make sure the plugs are connected properly and that there is no corrosion in between. Last but not least, you can check your light switch with a multimeter and see if it has intermittent faults. My gut feeling is that it is your light switch that is failing.
IF YOU HAVE AIRBAGS, GET SOMEBODY WHO HAS DONE THIS BEFORE. OTHERWISE THIS DEVICE COULD EITHER FAIL OR GET DEPLOYED.

92 civic "Ballade" in South Africa SR4, none of the in-dash lights work when the lights outside is on except when I push the brake, all the in-dash lights work and even the park lights outside, and the left blinker doesn't work, noticed the blinker when locking the car with a aftermarket central locking device that had been installed a few years ago, doubt that it could mess up all the wiring after so many years of working correctly, some wires are burning inside the dash when I switch everything on at once, please help me??
I have a 96 Honda civic lx. And the srs light on the dash cluster does not come on at all? Any ideas? I already changed the bulb

If all of them don't work, I would replace the light switch.
