My sound system went out as well. Amp isn't turning on. Hmm, can someone give me another hypothesis?

Again, I was just messing with the Cigarette Lighter trying to get it to work again. Saw some sparks and that's when the problems happened (speedometer, odometer, sound system).

The head unit actually turns on too. Amp doesn't. Check power wire fuse and it looks good. Check ground and that's good. Checked remote wire and that's good.

depends i guess. its the term i use to refer to "making sparks" it can happen when something gets grounded or when you connect power wires that are "live" or god forbid you ground a power wire or hook a ground wire to power

Smoker, what exactly happens when a wire arcs?

hmm....seen this before, go to the junkyard and get yourself a new instrument cluster. those honda instrument clusters are pretty crappy and if your not careful they destroy very easily. another installer at a shop i used to work for ruined one in a guys car one time because he caused a wire to arc when installing a head unit

It's probably not a fuse then, unless it's about to fall out or something... Probably a loose connection somewhere..

They are working sporadically. I will check fuses and holler back. I'm hoping it's a fuse!

Are they out completely or working sporadically?

If there out completely and you saw sparks you blew a fuse. If there working intermittently you have a bad connection somewhere.

Sounds like a blown fuse to me...

I'm not sure on the speedometer and odometer, I'm not a honda person.

Speedometer and Odometer malfuntioning.

Car: 1996 Accord LX 2.0 4 Cylinder

Problem: My speedometer and odometer are randomly deciding when to work. And so is the light that illuminates them.

I'm not positive, but I believe it first happened when I was trying to get my cigarette lighter to work. I saw many sparks when I was trying to fix it. After messing around with it for awhile, I turned on the car and that's the first time I remember seeing the light out that illuminates the speedometer on the right side (There are 2 lights. One that illuminates the Cars Temp and RPM's, and the other one that's now out illuminates the Speedometer, Odometer, and Gas Gauge). Shortly after that I took it for a drive and noticed the speedometer and odometer weren't working as well.

I'm guessing it's a grounding issue. Thanks in advanced for your help!
