Default 02 accord gauge cluster

in my accord gauge cluster the temp. gauge light does not light up, the gauge works fine. the other gauges light up fine. Also i checked to see if the bulb was out and took out the gauge cluster and found out the circuit going to the temp. gauge was burned out on the green pad so i was wondering how to fix it or if i buy a new gauge cluster for manual will the new cluster display the same mileage that i have or something else. thanks.

Think you need a new gauge cluster. Post some pictures of your, I wanna see if it can be fixed or not.
Try Ebay or a junkyard to get a new one.

if you can solider you might be able to fix the burn't area of the board otherwise your going to have to replace the board or cluster...and will loose your mileage as it's on the eeprom on the board

The only way to keep your odometer is to keep your circuit board. Try to repair the connection.

You can buy a replacement cluster on eBay, and for the mileage, honda dealer can adjust the number to your actual mileage (they will charge it by the hour)

For my car, I bought a new cluster and it was off only 5000 miles so I just leave it alone.

Are you sure the dealer can adjust the mileage? As far as I knew they were temper-proof. Then anyone could just bring their cluster with 200k miles down to Honda, get it set at 50k, then sell their car.

I don't think gauge clusters are adjustable.

Dealers can adjust odometers on any of the cars on the lot, which is pretty scary to think about.
