How do you get the dash lights to work on a 1989 Honda accord dx?

To get the dash lights working on a 1989 Honda Accord DX, first check the dashboard dimmer switch to ensure it's not turned all the way down. If the dimmer is fine, inspect the fuse box for any blown fuses related to the instrument panel lights. Additionally, check the bulbs behind the dashboard to see if they need replacement. If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be a wiring problem that requires further investigation.
