You're right, I forgot how it's put together on Accords....my bad.
I wouldn't have thought a '98 would have any multiplexed electrics....seems to me that didn't start becoming common in cars until like '02 or so, but Honda is ahead of the curve on lots of things, so I guess it could be...
I guess I can't offer anything useful here...sorry. I'd just start chasing the illumination wiring from the cluster, and hope to find a problem....check the voltage along the way, try to find the voltage drop...the dim lights are sometimes symptomatic of a broken ground, and a ground breaking could create an arc that would blow a fuse and spike the temp control...i'd almost be afraid for my new control until the problem was found...
Good luck. If you think of anything else that happened around that time, it might help....didn't install anything new or anything, right?
