Last night I tried to change the brightness of dash, and it seems my "+" button does not work. The "-" button does work.

There have been far more complaints about the trip button not working but there are exceptions.....For example, if the previous owner drove the car with the headlights on during the day, the dash brightness would be too dim so the driver may have often used the mode to turn on the dash brightness to daytime level by keeping the + button pushed in until it changes. If this event occurred daily, that button would end up being used more than the trip button. It is a matter of usage and how hard the driver would press down on the button.
When the buttons are new, it only takes light pressure to activate. However, these buttons serve more than one option via a short push and a long push. In short push mode, the driver sees the change right away so they don't push down hard on the button. In long push mode, a driver gets impatient waiting for the change and thinks that he / she has not activated the switch yet and pushes down on the button even harder to make sure. That is when the damage occurs.
A better quality and better tactile feel switch would have been a more appropriate design choice by Honda but with a little more patience, these switches will probably last a lot longer as well.
By the way, when you tested the + and - buttons, since you say the "+" does not work and the "-" did work, how did you get your brightness back to the level that you had before the test?
