Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 20062003 Civic headlight/key reminder not working - fuse?
Hello all, Looked at the manual, Googled both the web and Usenet, checked out tegger's site, but couldn't really find any info about this. It's my wife's car and the headlight and key-in reminders/beepers stopped working about a week or so ago (seatbelt reminder still works, though). I checked the manual and there doesn't seem to be a fuse that is anywhere close to the correct description. I really don't want to pull all the fuses to check them if it's not even a fuse (I had read that it might be the ICU). So is this something fixable by replacing a fuse (and if so, which one) or should we just take it in to the dealer (still under warranty, I'm pretty sure)? Thanks for any info... brian  SignatureIf you want to reply to this message by mail, you will have to change the reply address to beuchaw@beuchaw.net > Hello all, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > brian Does your dome light come on when you open the driver's door? If not, then the door switch (on the inside of the frame) probably needs lubricating. That switch affects all of those functions. > Does your dome light come on when you open the driver's door?

Yeah, the light does come on (glad you thought of it, though, 'cos I hadn't). Thanks for trying, though, but I think she's just gonna take it in to the dealer (like I said, I think it's still under warranty). brian SignatureIf you want to reply to this message by mail, you will have to change the reply address to beuchaw@beuchaw.net > Hello all, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > If you want to reply to this message by mail, you will > have to change the reply address to beuchaw@beuchaw.net --------------------------- Have you tried lubricating the ignition lock with Lockease, or another suitable graphite-based lube? Maybe somebody put some dino-based stuff in there and now it's gummed up and the switch is hanging up?

Haven't tried that, but neither she nor I would do that, and the only place she's had the car in for service is the dealer and I doubt they'd do that either (yeah, I know, you never know with them). The key does slide in and out just fine with no perceptible gummi/stickiness (I tried it yesterday). Thanks, though. brian SignatureIf you want to reply to this message by mail, you will have to change the reply address to beuchaw@beuchaw.net |
