Stephen,

Do you happen to live in Los Angeles??

Hello,
I have an 04 TSX and I just replaced the PCB to correct the illumination issue. It fixed it but I now my CD is not working. Any ideas why? Thank you for your help

XM boards ARE different

Printed Circuit Board (without navigation system)/N 3917A-SEC-A01RM
Printed Circuit Board (with navigation system)/N 3917A-SEC-A51RM

Just tried both of these at Honda and Acura parts websites and nothing. I then used "3917A-SEC-A01" without the "RM" and it led me to "3917A-SEC-A01CP" Printed Circuit Board 04 TSX, is this still the newer board, maybe something else was updated? I am looking for one without the XM for my 04.

i believe the RM means remanufactured... they told me there was a core charge on it. I am pretty sure i gave my dealer the number listed on this page since they usually have a hard time looking up parts like this.

Well my 2004 has 115,000 miles. So it sounds like I am out of the warranty. I think I found the 3917A-SEC-A01 on estore.acura.com for $95. Pickup at dealer.

But I'm afraid this is going to be an expensive fix? Not only have those lights been out for a while, but my radio just went out yesterday. Related?

So, I got sick of the no lights, and made a lowball offer on ebay for an '05 radio, and got it lol. So waiting for that to get here, and should take care of my problem.

so the best bet is to ask my dealer for a PCB? and install it myself (if i feel competent too)? i recently lost my lights... can i get this part from another 04 (junked) or would that run the same risk to blow?

thanks!

stephen - if you are from LA I will pay YOU! haha

I just purchased a 04 tsx with 44,000 miles and my radio and ac lights not working am I still under warranty?

Crap, my lights just went out today. It smells like burning. lol. Time to start looking for a replacement board or new player.

You're too late. Its 7 years OR 100000 miles which ever comes first.

Acura OEM Parts Now - Official Acura OEM Parts Site

Anybody order from them before? There is a CP and RM. Anyone know the difference?

 

[ReDevil]

From what I have read the RM is for the warranty one, and requires a core. The Cp one is just the board, no core charge involved. Thats what I gather anyways. I will wait for someone else to chime in though.

 

[smaeda]

The weird thing is they both require a core charge of $125. For the guys who ordered online, is there a good place to get OEM acura parts?

 

[tsx-ness11]

acuraautomotiveparts.org has always been good.

Honda, Acura and Toyota Accessories I think has Acura parts as well

 

[tsx-ness11]

I wish there was another way to mount LED lights for this problem. LED's are board mounted so I'm not sure it will be possible.

Anyone have the info on the transistor that blew? I am looking to replace mine and not sure what to replace with.

 

[ludespeedny]

I found the model number of the blown transistor. It is a Panasonic 2SB1398. I found out that is discontinued, but digikey has about 2000 in stock at about $.85. I have one on the way and will try my hand at soldering it to repair and update when done!

The part numbers for digikey are 2SB13980QACT-ND and 2SB13980PACT-ND. The Q is lead free, but was told they both would work.

Nice. Update with pics when you attempt to fix it. I managed to "fix" mine by using the 04 cd player, with the 05 face. The screen shows a bunch of gibberish, but all the buttons work, and I finally have a lit hvac.

Got mine working. Follow my write up: http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-general-car-topics/64158-console-lights-fix.html#post904925
