Do you mean the light on the dash button (below the left air vent) or in the instrument cluster? My 2000 Accord's cruise control button light doesn't work - I'm assuming the bulb is burnt out. You may want to check your fuse box before you consider replacing the bulb but ultimately, that'd be my guess.
a safety break
On my 2000 accord the cruise control panel on the left of the steering wheel is out. But the dashboard light still works and so does the actual cruise control. As long as the cc still works its not a big deal.
To the left of the steering wheel, below the dashboard is a button that says cruise control. Push that button in, the dash will illuminate the cruise control light. Then, as you reach the speed you want to cruise at, push the button on the steering wheel that says "set". When you want to turn cruise control off, simply tap the brake pedal and the cruise will go off.
That is the Traction Control System. When it is on the traction control is off.
Make sure you have the main cruise control button depressed. You will then see a display light indiciating "Cruise Control". After that, just use the normal buttons to set, accelerate, and coast. BEWARE, though. The cruise control button for our 2004 Accord stopped letting me keep it in the depressed position, and I can't keep my cruise control on now. Will let you know once the mechanic takes a look at it.
It means you have turned the traction control off. Turn it back on and the light will go out.
I would suspect the speed sensor has gone bad.
Replace your AT Control Unit (Automatic Transmission Computer)
there are many light bulbs on the Honda accord.. what light bulb?
Honda
You have a problem with the Anti-Lock brake system. This system is used by the traction control system.
