Nakaka-paranoid na problem with City 2004 A/T

**porgie** · March 31st, 2010 06:27 AM

I recently bought a honda city i-dsi 2004, kaya lang hindi ko napansin na hindi pala umiilaw yung :
1) A/C button
2) Panel nung thermostat, fan, and yung direction ng a/c duct (di ko alam tawag..)

hindi ko siya napansin bago ko bilihin kasi ang na-check ko lang ay kung umiilaw yung gauges at umiilaw naman siya.. umiilaw din yung de-fogger button.

Normal lang ba na mapundi itong mga ito? and how is it replaced? Kailangan ko ba sa Casa pa magpagawa?

Though the car i bought is in very good condition,
1) Malakas humatak yung car
2) Smooth yung shifting (A/T)
3) Gumagana yung tiptronic (7speed mode)
4) Gumagana naman lahat ng instruments (AFAIK)
5) Malakas yung a/c
6) Maayos naman yung interior
7) I had 2 mechanics checked it before buying (though basic check lang yung ginawa)
I am now worrying (at napaparanoid ako) na baka nabaha itong sasakyan nun ondoy.

Sana po may makapagbigay ng advice and thoughts about this...

pre, mukhang sa casa lang napapalitan yang ilaw. dati din iyung isang car ('01 honda city) ko ganyan na ganyan ang naging problema. walang ilaw iyung a/c button at panel na namention mo. nagtanong ako sa mga gumagawa and sabi sa akin sa casa lang nakakabili ng ganyang parts.

Yup, nakakaloko nga pag gabi hindi mo makita iyung aircon adjustments kasi walang ilaw iyung panel.

Pero mukha namang ok iyung car based sa description mo. baka yung ilaw lang talaga ang napundi.

ok lang yan sir. sa akin city '04 din. M/T nga lang. pundido din yung ilaw. hinayaan ko lang since ramdam ko naman pag naka fan lang sya. yung anak ko kasi hilig magpi-pindot eh. mana sa tatay...

siguro mga 3 years na din syang ganoon. wala naman naging problem. last time nung may pinagawa ako sa casa, they recommend to replace it kasi mura lang naman daw yung bulb. parang nasa 100-200 pesos, pero yung labor siguro mga 500 pesos daw kaya sabi ko next time na lang.

plan ko is to buy a bulb sa casa then pa-install ko na lang sa shop pag nagpalinis ako ng aircon.

Okay lang dapat iyan kung pundido lang ang ilaw..... Nothing to be worried about bro....

Nabaha? It would be "pretty obvious" with the fabric and everything in the car....

A deceased friend of mine managed to DIY-replace the blue LED for the A/C compressor button...but usually your best bet is the casa. They'll probably replace the whole switch. It slides out when pushed from behind.

It's the same deal with the LEDs for the major A/C controls (thermostat, blower speed, air blend). They're just lights. On other Hondas, people replace them with LEDs of other colors just for personalization's sake.

:thanx:for the replies guys! Medyo na-relieve ako at nalaman ko na napupundi pala agad ito.:groupwave:
Yung sa Ford Lynx kasi namin same model, may ilaw pa rin kaya kinabahan ako.
