Please can you confirm the initial light sequence of the dashboard warning lights on a 2003 Honda CRV 2L Manual when the key is turned 1 click. I suspect the previous owner of my vehicle has somehow disabled some of the warning lights.

The basics should be the Check Engine, Alternator, oil, handbrake, P and D light. Check and D indicator would go off after 2 seconds. ABS, SRS and TCS would only illuminate if vehicle is equipped with system and would go off after 5 seconds..

2002 Honday CR-V EX - 115,000 miles. Alternator died while driving and after replacing, the engine light, oil light and battery light (only the far left panel lights) blink intermittently while driving to work (42 mile trip) in the morning. They don't blink during any other time. And they only blink one at a time....

I took the car to another mechanic (Honda Dealer) and they couldn't find anything wrong with the car.

Took it back to the first shop and they replaced the alternator - and the lights still blink. Now experiencing some minor weird problems....like the auto up/down window control won't work...restart the car...and then it works.

Help!
Thanks.

Try asking the mechanic about a voltage regulator for the dash. There is one as I understand it and it could have been damaged. Just a thought.

I took the dash apart and see that there are little bulbs - can I replace the bulb, or do I have to replace the entire piece? (has 6 (?) bulbs within a plastic box - each bulb within its own box) Do you know what it is called so I can look for the part?
Thank you!

Bulbs can be replaced individualy.

Take the bulbs to the parts store and they would be able to let you know if they have it.
