This is part of the park-dimmer circuit (CR-V)
to fix this, requires only access and risk.
most folks ignore it but not me, id risk breaking this old plastic.

the FSM covers this ,so is no secret, "body section"
alldata dot com might in the body section
in some cases you must remove the front bezzel
they pry off, (risk) and gain access to the lamp holder.
if you look on line at the parts section of any online honda dealer
you can see the full blow up drawing and all those hidden clips
for free. ever do that, buy a part online at a dealer yet?
i use special plastic pry bars to pull these.

see body pages. the real FSM shows removing just about anything on car. get the FSM.

Fiat Strada Key Code light stays on and do not start

Have a second key that is chipped, try changing the key. Sometimes that is all you need to do. You could also have a loose connection at your starter, alternator, or battery. Sometimes that will trip the light and not allow your car to start.

Ashtray bulb

Pull the ashtray out. Then remove ashtray holder-probably 2 Phillips head screws. Light socket may be attached to holder, or may be accessed with holder out of the way. I think those bulbs would be push-in type-bulb is probably 194 or 168 designation.

My battery light and brake light goes on , some time goes off and on / I have a new battery and I change the altalnator

Check the battery terminals (where they are connected to the engine.) Those clamps can be loose or corroded. It happened to me and if i hit a bump or the road was bumpy, the battery cables would slide loose and the power would flicker or die completely
Open the hood when the car is off and try to wiggle the positive nad negative connections on your battery. They shouldn't move at all. If they're loose, tighten them up carefully. If they're covered in battery acid or corroded, then you may need new terminals for your new battery to connect well to your engine. Good luck, i hope this helps.

How do i change the ashtray light?

Remove the ashtray and look for the screws that attach the ashtray bracket to the dash. Remove the ashtray bracket. The light fixture has a metal clip that you can squeeze to release the fixture from the ashtray bracket. (Sometimes it is easier to pry or push the clip gently sideways with a small screwdriver.) Replace the bulb and re-assemble.

Having trouble with door ajar dome light staying on when door is not actually ajar?

There is a switch that connects to the door latch inside the door. They can get sticky or come loose causing your complaint. Usually it is the drivers door since that door gets used the most. The door panel has to come off to access the switch. Sometimes you can remove the dome light fuse to take care of the light and indicator until it gets repaired.

Flashing arrow dash light seems related to transmission issues

Your O/D relay is failing. The transmission is staying in lower gears and not able to switch into overdrive, this is controlled electrically. The relay is behind the ashtray in behind the ashtray holder, on the right. It is clarified as far as numerical order and function on the legend plate on the ashtray cover.

Oldsmobile ciera 93 cant find the turn signals flasher

It turns out that it was attached by a clip on the right side of the ashtray frame inside the dashboard. I took out the removable "cup" part of the ashtray, then removed the two upper and two lower ashtray frame screws. Next, I pulled the frame forward and disconnected the small ashtray light. The power wire for the cigarette lighter can stay attached. After that, it was easy to replace the flasher unit
