Honda Repair: electric windows not working, electrical issues, stereo shop


Question
I have a 2005 Honda Accord DX. I have no sound from my stereo, the back light for my clock sometimes works, but the numbers for the clock and stereo always work. My dash lights will sometimes get real bright for a few seconds and get dim for a few minutes but not all of the time. Sometimes this will happen for a whole night and sometimes for a couple nights then not happen for 2 weeks. Then now the only power window that works is the drivers side. The other three windows don't work at all. I have tried the switches from the drivers door and their individual switches. The window lock is not on. Any ideas on what the problem is?

Answer
Kelli, you have some serious electrical issues going on. Did you purchase this car used? Does this car have a salvaged title? Whichever someone has either been messing with some wiring or there is unrepaired damage somewhere. The fix is to take this to a stereo shop and see if they would look at it for you. Maybe give you an estimate for repairs? This would be a cheaper option vs. an automotive electrical shop. Or you can take it to the dealer for repair but, that can get expensive.
