I have a 2001 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6. I've been having trouble with the instrument cluster lights not coming on with my headlights. Going over a bump or tapping on it sometimes brings it back on. I took it to a local shop and they advised replacing the whole instrument cluster. I was looking into it myself (as well as searching this forum) and think it's just a bad pin in the left-most wiring harness. When I press on that harness, the lights come back on. I took a look at the solder joints for the receptacle on the board and those look good. What should my next steps be to resolve this issue? Identify and replace/rebend the faulty pin? I have a multimeter if anything needs to be probed out.

Short version: I have a 2001 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6. I think there's a poor connection in the left-most wiring harness. What are my next steps?

 

Sounds like a pin fitment issue.
Some just bend the pin a little to make contact
Others go about replacing the pins
No advice here cause it depends upon you and your budget and skill level
