when i turn the lights on the dashboard and climate control lights start to flash or flicker. they do it for a good bit of time and then finally stop. i checked the fuses but they all seemed fine. i replaced 2 of them just to be sure but it is still happening. it is a 2000 Accord EX V6 sedan. i am looking for some advice or what else to look at. ---

check the headlight switch. dash gets power to turn on when the headlights are turned to accesory/parkinglight then actual headlights on. mayeb a wire is loose or connection is bad and it is letting the dash/backlights come one when it shouldn’t. this will require you to pull the steering wheel to take the combination switch off. so disconect battery, and you will need a 30 torx bit to remove the air bag out of the steering wheel. dont mess up the clock spring that sits behind the wheel. ---

Just to be sure, check fuse and fuse box connections, as this may be a sign of deeper electrical problems ---

is there an aftermarket alarm in this car? If so see where they got power from alot of time they put a spade on the end and jam it into the fuse socket this will cause similar issues I have first hand experience with that.
