bulbs not working

the bubls that are not working are my rear reading lights, the light in one of my doors, the bulbs for the select and reset buttons for the trip odometer and the auto and off buttons for the AC control, the antitheft indicator and the 2 lights in the driver side rear window controls it sounds like a lot but really isnt if you think about it im guessing its something with the connection of the circuits nothing an electrician cant fix

Just spray a little silicone lubricant along the length of the window channels and run the windows up and down a couple times to spread the lube. I wouldn't use WD40 because I've heard that stuff tends to eat away and harden rubber over time. And yes, a little will get on your windows but most of it is concealed inside the channel so you won't see it. The rest you can just wipe/clean off without a problem. Just use a little lube at a time if you're concerned.

Yes I've done this a few times myself, it tends to happen after the rainy season is over, just go and get yourself a can of silicone spray (highly recommended) at your local Pepboys etc and just apply as was mentioned by Train. Also you might get some rubbing alcohol and some Q-Tips and clean the channels first before applying the silicone, and your windows should roll like new. This is the exact procedure your local dealership service dept would perform on your windows so save yourself a trip.

I respond better to jinny... but jin works too.

Ummmm, what?:confused::giggle:

Ya, the Legends dont' have too many products compared to Civics, Accords, etc. but I am grateful that we have more than some less fortunate.

He is using the Acuraworld "Lingo". They have a smily over there that says TITS on a sign that it holds up and everyone over there uses that to say that a car looks really good.

how do i get to channel? im confused i roll the window down first? or do i keep it up and then pull back the rubber and do i pull back the rubber on the inside of the car or the outside of the car, and do i need to use like a little straw to direct the silicone better? please help. im just worried that maybe the motors are going bad i would hate to c that happen its in all 4 windows sso chances are probably very slim

What you should do is roll the windows down, and spray the track that the window slides on. It should feel like felt. you spray a good amount of silicone on there and roll the window up and down a few times to lube it up. A small straw will help direct the silicone better.
