Multifuntion Switch Replacement? - Acura Forum

Would anyone know where the multifunction switch is located in a 1998 Honda Odyssey and how one would best go about installing a new one?

Hi There,

Sorry for being so long responding. The component I need to replace is the one (or ones) that control the DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and ABS idiot lights in the dash of my 1998 Honda Odyssey. I know that there isn't anything wrong with the brakes as they were all replaced less than 10,000 miles ago. The vehicle has a significant amount of milage on it and I suspect that something electrical which controls the function of the ABS and the headlights has simply started to fail. The idiot lights seem to periodically come on and then go off. Sometimes the ABS light will be on for several days in a row and then it will stop lighting up for a few days only to latter return. Similarly, sometimes the Highbeams will function normally and then occassionally they won't function.
