For what purpose are the two switch blanks to the left of the steering wheel? They are to the right of the switch for disabling the traction control.

They are just blanks but how does one remove one. I want to put in a fuse switch - so that I don't have to stand on my head to pull fuse #7 evertime I tow it.

 

[RavenManiac]

Yeah, I wondered that myself. Honda seems to be cutting a lot of corners these days, so why would they have two switch blanks?

 

[Amazon]

they're for options used in other markets, e.g. European models.

 

[RavenManiac]

Just out of curiosity, what kind of options?

 

[Amazon]

I've seen them in pics, but when I zoom in they're hard to make out. Rear hatch release may be one of them. Just a guess tho.

But when looking at 2013 interior pics that are out there right now, you can tell they're not US models...the spedo is in KM, and all of those switches on the left have markings.

Looks like Euro version is a year behind?

I'd be interested in that as well. Let me know what you come up with.

I put in a fuse switch. Saves standing on ones head when removing the acc fuse when towing.

 

[RavenManiac]

How about a picture?

 

[jcm]

This is what I used one for. They clip in and are quite hard to remove. I just drilled a hole for the switch and it slipped in.

 

[RavenManiac]

Very clever. Nice job jcm.

 

[jcm]

I used one for the fuse switch. They pop in but are difficult to remove.

I just bought an EX and it has two mirrored visors with lights? Are you saying they each have only on light? Just curious.

 

[Rsuazo]

Yes ,memorygirl,I meant one light, HOW SHIP IS THAT???,

 

[Rsuazo]

Sorry, meant how cheap is that,

 

[businessspice]

That is crazy, mine of course has 2 as well. How is that even possible? They apparently only make them with a mirror and light in each side so it boggles my mind that they could even find one that wouldn't have that.

I am sure if you take it back to the dealership and explain they would make it right for free. It's a manufacturers defect, not anything you did.

I used one of the blanks for my fuse switch - turns off the ACC fuse. When I am towing the car behind my motorhome. Or is it the car pushing the motorhome.
